Barbara Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Contains a spoiler Luke Jacobz gets ladder to the stars, to crash with Chris Hemsworth in the US * From: The Daily Telegraph * June 06, 2011 12:00AM JUST six days after the X Factor finale, host Luke Jacobz will hop on a plane in a bid to launch his acting career in the US - and already has his accommodation sorted. Jacobz - best known here as hot cop Angelo Rosetta in Home And Away - is to follow in the footsteps of Sam Worthington, Ryan Kwanten and Joel Edgerton to name but a few and give the States a crack. He will also give ex-co-star and good mate Chris Hemsworth a call to see if he can crash on the Thor star's couch. His final scenes in Summer Bay are set to air soon and Jacobz is desperate to add his name to the Gumleaf mafia. "I'm going over just to try my luck over there," he said. "I've never had the chance to go over because I've been busy working, so this year I'm making sure I just do it." Jacobz, who was drafted in last year to host X Factor following Matt Newton's meltdown, has already lined up auditions and digs. "I might ring Mr Hemsworth and crash on his couch for a while," he said. The pair worked together until Hemsworth left in 2007 to carve out a Hollywood career, most noticeably in Thor. In the meantime, Jacobz is auditioning for some other acting roles that will work in with his X Factor hosting duties. "During the live rounds you generally have the weeks free and I'm hoping to be doing a bit of work. There's talk of something happening in September," he said. The new series of the talent quest will air on Seven later this year. Source Good luck to him! I don't think Luke and Chris actually worked on the show at the same time. Kim left Summer Bay in July 2007 and Angelo only arrived in July 2008. Unless it was on another project?
Miranda Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Yes, I wondered that. Angelo and Kim never met, did they?

Barbara Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 I didn't realise Sam Worthington used to be in Home and Away I don't remeber him in the show According to IMDb, Sam Worthington and Joel Edgerton have never been on H&A. I think the writer of the article is talking about Australian actors going to the US in general, not necessarily Australian actors who have been on H&A. I had the same reaction as you when I first read that sentence though.
QUIET ACHIEVER Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Thanks Barbara for posting the article. I hope that he finds what he's looking for in the US and I wish him well in all his future endeavours.
