Originally a bricklayer, Sam never intended on becoming an actor until he met a girl while travelling who wanted to audition for NIDA. Sam went along for support and ended up getting into the drama school, while his girlfriend missed out. After graduating from NIDA in 1998, Worthington performed in a production of Judas Kiss for Company B at the Belvoir St Theatre.

He was one of several actors who was under consideration to take over the role of James Bond from Pierce Brosnan for the 2006 film Casino Royale.
