Wolf of Wall St's Margot Robbie just the latest name to swap Ramsay St for tinseltown Walking the path to stardom: Margot Robbie has leapt from soap to Scorsese. WOLF of Wall St's Margot Robbie is just the latest name to take the leap from Aussie soap to the silver screen. Name-checking almost every Aussie in Hollywood is like taking a role-call of former Neighbours and Home and Away actors. And while some relish in their first taste at fame - others prefer to forget. Proving that big things come can come from humble beginnings take a look through our list local stars who've been catapulted into the stratosphere of global fame. Margot Robbie Raised on the Gold Coast, stunning Margot Robbie played Donna on Neighbours before stepping out in Martin Scorsese's Wolf of Wall St alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. Chris Hemsworth Chris Hemsworth is now officially a 'Big Name' in Hollywood, taking up the hero/heart-throb role with gusto in Snow White and The Huntsman and Thor. We can't forget him as Summer Bay's dreamy, sun-kissed character Kim Hyde, who he played from 2005-2007. Dean Geyer Robbie's one-time co-star Dean Geyer took the leap from singer-songwriter successfully when he moved from Australian Idol to Neighbours. But he really hit the big time when he combined both his talents as Rachel Berry's love interest in the hit US musical-drama, Glee. Kylie Minogue Who can forget Kylie's gigantic leap into the fame stratosphere after playing the adorable Neighbours character, Charlene. Jesse Spencer Fresh-faced Jesse Spencer was a favourite in Neighbours, playing the Kennedy's youngest son, Billy. Spencer is currently spending his time walking red carpets for Hollywood's hit TV-show Chicago Fire. Guy Pearce Likable Guy Pearce never forgot where he came from. A start in Neighbours brought big things for the Aussie favourite, dressing in stilettos for Priscilla before claiming an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in Mildred Pierce in 2011. Ryan Kwanten Ryan Kwanten went from Vinnie on Home and Away to Sookie's rascal brother Jason in HBO's True Blood, where he (thankfully) barely manages to stay dressed for a whole episode at a time. Melissa George Although Melissa George likes to forget she ever set foot in Summer Bay, like a jealous ex, we still remember her as the beloved Angel. She's since been in a string of high-profile US TV and film projects including HBO's critically acclaimed In Treatment and Mulholland Drive. Naomi Watts Naomi Watt's career knows no limits, playing beloved Princess Di as well as a string of other films. Who knew the glamazon started off as Home and Away's wheelchair-bound Julie Gibson in 1991?! Somehow she's also managed to have two kids with longtime partner Liev Schreiber. Isla Fisher Who knew much-loved Aussie export Isla Fisher was so funny? Far from her role as Home and Away's bisexual teen Shannon Reed (1994-1997), Fisher married seminal funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen and has starred in a sack of Hollywood hits including a hilarious turn as a crazed girlfriend in Wedding Crashers. Heath Ledger The beloved late Heath Ledger was a fresh-faced high-schooler in Home and Away back in 1997, playing Sally's boyfriend Scott Irwin. But Ledger was clearly on the path to bigger things, playing Hollywood heart-throbs before tackling deeper and darker issues in Brokeback Mountain and his Oscar-winning turn in Dark Knight. Ledger passed away in January 2008 from a drug overdose. Simon Baker Simon Baker (or Simon Baker Denny as he was then known) went from Home and Away character James Healey in 1994 to The Devil Wears Prada and The Mentalist.
