Hemsworth seems to play a fictionalised version of himself, given he also rocketed to superstardom as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Eric Newman, the creator of True Story, said the cameo was only possible because he was already working with Hemsworth on his upcoming Netflix movie, Escape from Spiderhead.
"I was making the movie with Hemsworth at the time in Australia," Newman explained to Insider. "Interesting fact: that was the first footage we shot of True Story. We were shooting Spiderhead and I asked if he'd do it and he said, 'Absolutely.'"

Snipes is actually also an MCU alum, having starred as Eric Brooks, AKA Blade, in the 1998 Blade movie. The vampire anti-hero's role has since been taken over by Moonlight's Mahershala Ali in both Netflix's Luke Cage and Eternals.
True Story is available to stream now on Netflix.
