That said, the competition has been remains very intense. So how did Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth nab the role of Gale?

Yes, that's correct, the man who is responsible for playing the buffed out super-hero role of Thor, read lines as a 16 year old girl all in an effort to help his brother out. In Chris' words, he put his best "girly, American accent on." And it clearly paid off because Liam ultimately ended up getting the job -- brotherly love at its best.
