Sam Worthington
Born August 2, 1976
Sam Worthington graduated from Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in 1998.
He won critical acclaim and much attention for his first professional role - as Arthur Wellesley in Belvoir Street Theatre's production of Judas Kiss, directed by Neil Armfield.
Television appearances include Backberner; JAG; and Water Rats.
Worthington made his feature film debut in Bootmen. For which he was nominated for an AFI award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role though Eric Bana (Chopper) went on to win the award.
Jonathon Teplitzky on casting Sam Worthington in Gettin' Square:
"He’s fantastic. In many ways his part was the hardest to cast because we needed someone who could convincingly play a tough guy and also have elements of the leading man about him. It was really a case of working out who we wanted to pitch this film at, because we had tested guys up to eight years older than Sam. Ultimately, we decided to go Sam and then have David playing the older, slightly more streetwise accomplice. It worked."
Sam talking of Bryan Brown:
"I grew up watching that bloke."
Sam on the Australian characters in Dirty Deeds:
"It made me laugh because they talk like me. It was really ocker, and I like that."
