Thursday Morning Man: Sam Worthington!

Australian actor Sam Worthington had been hovering near stardom with the leading roles in such films as Terminator: Salvation and the 2006 Australian version of Macbeth.

Then came a little film called Avatar.

The 33-year-old stars in the highest-grossing film of all time as Jake Sully, a paraplegic former U.S. Marine who, assigned to control an alien body called an avatar through a neural link, finds himself at the center of a war between his own species and the indigenous Na’vi people of the moon Pandora.

Next up for Sam is the remake of Clash of the Titans, Last Night and The Texas Killing Fields.
