Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast. My thanks as always for

clicking and listening along. Got a fun one for you today with Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth.

Great dude is the first thing to say. A big dude. You know that from watching the movies, but man, you see it up close

in real life. We got together at a restaurant in New York City. He walks in the door about my height.

I'm a tall guy, but I guess I'm man enough to admit he's a little bit better built than I am.

And just a great guy to sit and talk with. Grew up partly in Melbourne, Australia, but also spent a lot of time with his family

on a cattle ranch in the Australian Outback.

You'll hear him talk a little bit about some of that with two brothers, also actors,

older brother Luke, younger brother Liam, decided after a high school film class that he was going to

someday grow up and go to Hollywood. Teacher thought he was crazy. How are you going to get

all the way from here to there? He just started building a career. Did commercials, did

Australian soap operas, a famous one called Home and Away where a lot of Australian actors,

you know, Naomi Watts, Heath Ledger,

others have appeared before coming to L.A., and he made that jump. Struggled for a while in

Los Angeles, you'll hear him talk about that as well before being cast by J.J. Abrams in the

Star Trek movie, the Marvel people see him in the Star Trek movie in 2009 and they say,

we think that's our Thor,

and the rest is history.

Four Thor movies made about $3 billion together.

On top of that, all the Avengers movies, some of the most successful at the box office movies of all time.

And now he's doing something really cool.

It's a series called Limitless,
