Liam Hemsworth is an Australian actor of film and television. He started his career by acting in the Australian television series Neighbours and The Elephant Princess. He is best known for his role as Gale Hawthorne in The Hunger Games film series, based on an adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novel series.
Background
Ethnicity:
Hemsworth's maternal grandfather was a Dutch immigrant. The rest his ancestry is approximately 11/32 English, 9/32 Irish, 1/16th German, and 1/16th Scottish.
Liam Hemsworth was born on January 13, 1990, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, to Leonie (née van Os), an English teacher, and Craig Hemsworth, a social-services counselor. Liam is the younger brother of actors Chris Hemsworth and Luke Hemsworth. While Luke is a notable figure in Australian television, Chris is an A-list Hollywood star. The brothers share a healthy competition and help out each other with their projects. His uncle, by marriage, was Rod Ansell, the bushman who inspired the film Crocodile Dundee (1986).
Liam Hemsworth has spent his childhood years in Melbourne as well as Bulman, a small town in the Outback, where his parents worked in a ranch. His most vivid childhood memories are having adventures with his brothers in the wilderness of Bulman, among buffalos and crocodiles. When he was in high school, the family decided to move to the small beach town of Philip Island. During his teenage years, he spent much of his time surfing with his brothers.
They didn't have a TV set at home, so boys used to go to the mountains where they made weapons and played war together. The older brothers always gave Liam a handicap to hide from bandits or Indians, and then they chased the little boy all over the forest. It was when, according to Liam's words, his love for adventures and fantastic stories awakened.
In March 2009, Hemsworth moved to the United States to pursue his career there.
Education
Liam graduated from Newhaven College. At the period of high school, he appointed an agent as he wanted to enter the acting world. He began to seriously consider following his elder brothers' footsteps by participating in school plays.
Hemsworth decided to try his hand at acting when he was in high school and hired an agent. He had his first successful audition when he was 16 years old, in an episode of the television show Home and Away, followed by another guest role on McLeod's Daughters.
In 2007, Hemsworth started filming episodes for the popular Australian soap opera Neighbors, playing athletic paraplegic Josh Taylor, opposite his brother Luke, who'd been playing Nathan Tyson on the show since 2000. In 2008, Liam tried a less intense role as Marcus, lead guitarist of the Elephant Princess band in the children's television show The Elephant Princess, also with Luke, who played Uncle Harry.
But Hemsworth's journey to Hollywood wasn't smooth sailing. In 2009 he was supposed to play the role of Sylvester Stallone's son in the movie The Expendables but was later cut from the script. In 2009, Liam Hemsworth traveled to Los Angeles, California, to audition for the Marvel Comics film Thor, directed by Kenneth Branagh, though the role would eventually go to brother Chris. That same year, the actor was featured in the Nicolas Cage sci-fi thriller The Knowing and the Australian horror flick Triangle.
Hemsworth's big break came with the 2010 hit film The Last Song, an adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel of the same name. In the film, Hemsworth played Will Blakelee, a Southern mechanic, volleyball player and community volunteer who falls in love with Ronnie Miller, played by actress and singer Miley Cyrus. Hemsworth and Cyrus entered into a romance off-screen as well.
Hemsworth took on another major role in 2011, portraying rural District 12 hunter Gale Hawthorne in the adaptation of Suzanne Collins's best-selling novel The Hunger Games; the story looks at a future world where children are sent to compete to the death in televised gladiatorial games.
The film, released in the United States in March 2012 and starring Jennifer Lawrence as main character Katniss Everdeen, was a major global hit, earning more than $690 million. Catapulted into the realm of a high-profile celebrity, Hemsworth reprised his role as Hawthorne in the 2013 sequel, Catching Fire, and the two-part Mockingjay finale.
During the summer of 2012, Hemsworth also co-starred in The Expendables 2, an action-flick sequel starring Sylvester Stallone as the leader of a band of mercenaries. (Hemsworth had been slated to star in the first installment of the franchise, but his character was written out of the script.)
Hemsworth later co-starred in the March 2013 romantic drama Love and Honor, playing a Vietnam War soldier who returns to the United States. The corporate thriller Paranoia, in which he portrays a beleaguered employee who becomes a CEO puppet, also hit theaters that year.
In 2015, he appeared in the movie The Dressmaker, an Australian revenge comedy based on the eponymous novel. In the film, he worked with Kate Winslet and played the character of her lover.
In 2016, he was cast as one of the lead characters of the movie, Independence Day: Resurgence, which is the sequel to 1996 film Independence Day. Part of an ensemble cast, he played the role of the U.S. pilot Jake Morrison.
Hemsworth also appeared in a western The Duel (2016). He then took a break from the big screen, before returning to pair with Rebel Wilson in the rom-com parody Isn't It Romantic (2019).
Hemsworth is currently working on an untitled horror TV series for Quibi, the short-form streaming platform. Hemsworth will play the lead role as a terminally ill man trying to provide for his pregnant wife before he dies. The show is set to premiere in April 2020.

Hemsworth is the ambassador of the Australian Childhood Foundation. Hemsworth talked about his association with the foundation, "I have the best parents you can have. They have worked in child protection for twenty years and have only ever given me encouragement and support. The world is a scary enough place as it is for children. It is important that home should always be a safe place for them." When asked if he believed he was a hero to children, Hemsworth said he did not know, but that he would like to be a good role model.
Hemsworth is vegan and told Men's Fitness that he found "no negatives to eating like this. I feel nothing but positive, mentally and physically."
In November 2018, Liam (along with Miley Cyrus) donated $500,000 to The Malibu Foundation after the destruction which had happened during the 2018 California wildfires. Liam and Miley had also lost their common home in the wildfire.
Quotations:
"I feel like anything I'm doing in life, I try to stay myself and be as honest and true as I can be, you know, and be a nice person. I've always been taught to be kind to people and have an open mind about life."
"We love making movies. We got into the business to make movies. At the end of the day, whether you're doing a low budget film or a big-budget film, you want it to do well and you want people to see it. That's the whole point. You want to put some kind of message in it."
