Yvonne Strahovski
Her parents are from Poland but she was born in Sydney. Currently she is starring in The Handmaid’s Tale but she will always be Sarah Walker from Chuck to me.
Ben Mendelsohn

You may not know him from this photo but if you know his name, then you know who he is. Orson Krennic in Rogue One, Sorrento from Ready Player One or most recently Talos in Captain Marvel, Ben Mendelsohn morphs into so many villainous characters and does an amazing job!
Margot Robbie
Margot has only been gracing our screens for 10 years but she’s done so with amazing aplomb. From I, Tonya, and The Legend of Tarzan to Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, this is one Australian who has a lot ahead of her.
Jesse Spencer

Currently on Chicago Fire and previously on House, I had no idea Jesse Spencer was Australian until I heard him give an interview toward the end of House. It’s almost like few people knew Hugh Laurie was British. Jesse gets a hug!
Adelaide Kane
Mostly known for her role as Mary, Queen of Scots on Reign, Adelaide is from Western Australia. She was also seen in Once Upon A Time and A Hallmark Movie.
Ryan Kwanten

As you know we love our vampires, and Ryan Kwanten spent his time in Bon Temps, Louisiana playing Jason Stackhouse. Ryan is from Sydney.
Nick Kyrgios
I had to be told about Nick by Amy. NIck plays tennis and apparently is a pretty all around nice guy. Proof? he pushed a woman’s car home after it had broken down in the country’s capitol Canberra where he’s from. Read more about that here.
Ruby Rose
Stepping into the role of Kate Kane for CW’s upcoming Batwoman, Ruby Rose is from Melbourne. You may have seen her in Orange is the New Black or Pitch Perfect 3 but her next movie is Red Notice with Sam Hughen.
Rebel Wilson
Funny woman Rebel Wilson is from Sydney and what haven’t we seen her in? She has so many films credits to her name including the Pitch Perfect movies. She has a new film coming out with Anne Hathaway, The Hustle. Watch for more on that soon!
Chris & Liam Hemsworth

What list would be complete without the Hemsworth brothers? Sure, they would get their own individual entries but I’m running out of space. Both born in Melbourne and amazing to look at, who wouldn’t want to give these men a hug! Chris will be in the upcoming Men in Black with Tessa Thompson and Liam was just in Isn’t it Romantic with fellow Aussie Rebel.
Who did I miss?
Now you may be thinking, you missed like the super OBVIOUS PEOPLE, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Taika Wititi (he’s from New Zealand), Portia de Rossi, Cate Blanchett, etc. I really could sit here and list one hundred more people — Anna Torv from Fringe, John Noble from Fringe and Lord of the Rings, Sullivan Stapleton from Blindspot, Teresa Palmer from Discovery of Witches, Emilie de Ravin from Roswell and Once Upon a Time — but I had to be selective about who I included.
