| 24 | !! He provides examples of the following tropes: |
| 25 | |
| 26 | * CastingGag: In the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, he plays an actor portraying his brother Chris's character Thor. Doubly so, as their other brother Liam was originally up for the part. |
| 27 | * LesserStar: In the sense that, despite being the eldest Hemsworth brother and the one who's been acting professionally the longest, [[{{Irony}} he's easily the one who's least known to the general public]]. This is attributed to his choice to act mostly in films in his native Australia, while Chris and Liam broke into Hollywood relatively early (aside from a cameo in a ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' episode hosted by Chris, ''Series/{{Westworld}}'' was the first American project Luke signed in). |
| 28 | * StarMakingRole: Before ''Series/{{Westworld}}'', he was unknown to American audiences, being known mainly as the older brother of Chris and Liam. |
| 29 | * YouLookFamiliar: After he departed from ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'' in 2002, he returned six years later to play a different character. |
