" I read what people say, because they're my audience. If you don't know how you're coming across, I think you're cutting yourself off a bit. "I always put acting to sport in the sense that if the fans are booing you, you know you've got to play better. We don't necessarily have the bounce of a theater, but we have the critics online, we have our critics in the newspaper, so I do take it all on-board in order to go, 'Well, they're the ones paying 12 bucks, I've got to step up my game.' Or 'Sam Worthington has to change this,' well f*** it, I'll change that... That to me, that then helps my profession and links what I think my job is, that's to entertain people"

Sam Worthington mini-bio:


Samuel Henry J. Worthington
Born on August 2, 1976
in Godalming, Surrey, England.
Father Ron is a power plant worker & Mother a homemaker who raised Sam & his sis. They moved to Perth, Western Australia during his childhood

Sam Spent his formative teen years in Warnbro a suburb of Rockingham; a West Australian Coastal surfing Town, but left home at 17 having dropped out of school, not knowing what he wanted to do with his life, he worked construction & odd jobs & traveled around Australia. Sam worked as a Brick layer before becoming an actor.

However with 2 films in 2009 Terminator Salvation which opened to Worthington getting much Praise 'stealing' the movie from Christian Bale with his performance & Avatar (currently in Theaters) netting a $77 million opening weekend (& a gross of $213 milllion) then 2 Movies in March of 2010.
The remake of The Clash of the Titans as Perseus a remake of the 1981 low-tech film. (which reshoots will be done after the holidays & promises that the new film "raises the original action sequences on the Richter scale to 11" &
Last Night along with Kyra Knightly. also in 2010 will be The Debt playing Young David & in The Candidate (which is Optioned property status)

What's beyond for the one of 2009's Break out stars?
The Tourist with Angelina Jolie which is a remake of the 2005 French Thriller. His & Jolies roles were suppose to orignally be Occupied by Tom Cruise & Charlize Theron. Jlie plays the Interpol Agent & Sam the American Tourist.However I have read That Worthginton & Jolie has dropped out of this project.(& is not noted on Imdb or PRO in his Filmography) The Texas killing Fields in 2012
(which is in the script writing status)

Sam will probably be one of the NEW STARS TO WATCH, maybe even the next go-to action star.
(Clash of the Titans Traile ris included in his best movies & Characters)

He's won the 2009 GQ Australia Actor & Man of the Year Awards over Russell Crowe & Eric Bana!!

Sam likes listening to the rock/metal band
Manowar & watching America's Next Top Model when he can.

December 2009
Avatar Trailer
extended version

"I read all what was said about the trailer. I can see their point, but as I said, it's not meant to be built for an Apple Mac or pc, it's built for IMAX, it's built for 3D, that's what he's designed it for. He's designed it to bring people back to the cinema. It's interesting that he's released that trailer, Jim's gone and done that, and the next day, he shows it on IMAX. It's one extreme to the other. We get the criticism and then we get the rave reviews of what it really looks like in its own formula. That's obviously going to get people to think and go, 'Damn right! I'm going to go and see this at the cinema.' Jim has always said to me that he wants to bring people back to the movies, and he's a smart enough man for that to be tactical.”
