Regarding Sam Worthingtons newfound fame, I saw good on him. He's slugged it away as an actor in Australian Film and Television for years, he deserves a big break, and he's a top bloke (I've met him a few times through a friend). Who cares if he only ends up doing action films either, it's a job. I hate it when someone says "Oh that guy, he's just gonna be the next "bla bla" as a put down on the actor, when really its just Hollywood creating a culture of that, rather than the actor. The way I see it, he's been doing small, indie dramas and that for years, let him have some blockbusters lol.
I guess its just funny for me, as an Australian, having known his work for ages, but now its like because he's suddenly popped up on other peoples radars, the Hollywood has just apparated him out of thin air. So many struggling aussie actors go to L.A. to try and make it, so it's always good to see when someone does.
