Summary

Before he became a larger-than-life hero of the Marvel cinematic universe, Chris Hemsworth was a young Australian soap opera star. When not wielding the hammer of Thor, the 39-year-old has starred in movies like The Huntsman, the Formula 1 driving film "Rush," and, in a memorable turn to comedy, "Ghostbusters." Now, the father of three who lives with his family far from Hollywood in Australia, is playing himself in a heart-stopping new series called "Limitless." Chris and Willie Geist got together in New York for a Sunday Sitdown.
