SAM Worthington may not be a household name today — but he soon will be.

He’s the actor who carries the weight of the most expensive movie ever made on his shoulders.

The Australian has the lead role in the $300 million epic “Avatar” and is signed up for two sequels. The 3-D sci-fi fantasy takes viewers to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where the hero embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home.

The movie opens on Friday, and appearing in it has turned Worthington into Hollywood’s most sought-after star. So who exactly is this 33-year-old overnight success?
