The actor recently revealed in an interview that had it not been for the Thor movies, he would have probably given up on acting. That's correct, Chris almost considered leaving his acting career as there wasn't much happening for him. He disclosed that he had arrived from Australia with the goal that he wanted enough money to pay off his parent's house.

Chris revealed how he was certain that he would return empty-handed but decided to try out one last audition, as he thought about his parents. Turns out that make or break audition was for the horror comedy film 'Cabin in the Woods'. It was this film that gave him a much-needed break post which he landed the lead role in 'Thor' and the rest, as they say, is history.
