Sam Worthington has finally revealed how he got the role in the blockbuster Avatar movie franchise.
During an appearance in the latest episode of On film… With Kevin McCarthy podcast, the 49-year-old actor shared interesting details about his audition for the popular 2010 film.
“I got an audition, but they wouldn’t tell me what the movie was, who the director was. They couldn’t tell me anything about it,” Sam began.
The Battle of the Titans actor told the podcast host that the lack of information had made him somewhat angry.
“I was kind of hesitant, a little bit on edge, and I was in one of those head spaces about it anyway,” he said, adding that he was even more tense after the expense of traveling to auditions.
As a result, the Australian native went into the audition with a less than positive attitude, which ultimately helped him secure the role.
“That attitude kind of translated into the performance. I remember the first line was, ‘Are you Jake Sully?’ and it was meant to be, ‘Yes, ma’am,’ and I said, ‘Uh-huh,'” Sam said.
“I had this weird attitude… because I was just kind of annoyed that no one could tell me anything,” the added Terminator rescue star.
It is pertinent to mention that Sam recently reprized his role as Jake Sully in Avatar: Fire and Ashes. The third part of the Avatar series was released in theaters on December 19, 2025.
