Australian actor Luke Hemsworth plans to move to Hollywood, joining his younger brothers Chris and Liam. Luke, 32, signed with ROAR Management, which also reps his siblings, about a year ago. His Australian agent, Mark Morrissey, tells Deadline the actor has decided to pursue a career in the U.S. but hasn’t yet set a time to relocate because it also involves his wife and their three young children. Morrissey said ROAR has been sending Luke scripts but he hasn’t committed to anything. Luke starred in Bikie Wars: Brothers in Arms, a miniseries that chronicled a war between Sydney two motorcycle clubs in 1984 which resulted in the deaths of seven people; it aired this month on Network Ten. Luke began his acting career in the children’s series The Saddle Club almost 10 years ago, before either of his brothers entered the business. His TV credits include Last Man Standing, Blue Heelers and Neighbours.

wow— articles are now posted about actors moving to Los Angeles?? I think this might start to clog the site– after all Julliard, NYU, SUNY Purchase, NC Arts just had graduations–
Come on– this is not news, this is gossip for a tracking board–
Agreed. Reading this just made me slightly angry. There are so many other talented actors out there, why highlight one who isn’t even in the country?
The Hemsworth family cranks out entertainers. They’re the new Menudo!
Can’t wait for the big showdown between them and the Baldwin brothers.
The Quaid, Bridges, Wayans and Affleck brothers have formed their own Avengers-style super team to take them all down. The streets will run red with the blood of actor bros.
And I’m sure he’s just as untalented as his brothers.
Another hunky Hemsworth? Come over sir, lots of American women already in love with your brothers. There is always room for one more Hemsworth.
So you’ve made all the American guys skinny jeans-wearing metrosexual twinks, so you have to import your hunky, macho men from Australia now?
Great.
It’s raining soup for boys named Hemsworth, grab a spoon, Luke!
There must be a treaty that stipulates that no Australian actor can be exported to the United States without first booking a role on NEIGHBOURS.
Or Home and Away
There can never be enough Hemsworth brothers. If there are more like them please send them as well.
do people in Australia realize what a joke Will Ward/Roar is over here? Dude just got incredibly lucky.
More importantly, do Luke and his family realize how small Will Ward’s guest house is?
I’m sure they are very nice people and close brothers but this one seems like he got the tail end of the looks although he was born first, then again things are ass backwards in Australia. re: Elliot post above…. Lucky indeed, Lucky indeed.
He’s the family Johnny Drama. Doesn’t make WW Ari, though.
I have to admit that I was not a Hemsworth brothers fan until I saw the Avengers and saw Chris. Then I had to see Thor. And now I am a Chris Hemsworth fan. Help me!!!!
He looks like he’s going to be the Daniel Baldwin of Hemsworths.
“the Daniel Baldwin of Hemsworths”… Funniest post here for sure. Would that also make him the “Andrew Wilson” of the Hemsworths?
Beabus, while I have to agree with you that Liam Hemsworth doesn’t display great acting range, I also disagree with applying that assessment to Chris. He has shown a decent amount of acting skills in the few North American films he’s made.
Thor was an obvious breakout but he was also good in his George Kirk cameo in Star Trek, The Cabin in the Woods and Snow White and the Huntsman. His brother, meanwhile, was not even believable as Cyrus’ love interest on film even though they’re actually in love in real life. Takes a lot of non-talent to pull that one off.
Do we think he’s the Cooper Manning of the Hemsworth’s?
Cooper Manning got injured. He was a legit wide receiver out of high school. Had a degenerative neck/spine disorder.
Unfortunately other families discussed on this thread seem to suffer with talent disorders.
Ok, I’m not fit to judge someones talent, my previous statement just seemed to set that up well.
Wow this is depressing…
Ass backwards? hmmm we lend u Mel Gibson. Cate Blanchett. Nicole Kidman and u have the Kardashians haha a little jealous perhaps??
haters gonna hate bro
You can have Mel back. We’re done with him.
