These sorts of questions are always a little disappointing, either because the "winner" is a show no one has heard of or because there is no clear winner at all. In this case, both are true.

It appears that the award for longest TV show intro goes to an Iranian drama called "Zire Tigh" (the title translates as "Under the Blade"). It was a prime-time, soap-style family saga, and its credits ran a whopping three minutes and 21 seconds.

La Brea, on NBC

Q: Is it true Chris Hemsworth used to be on a soap opera?

Author:

A:You may not know it from the placeless accent he puts on as Thor in the Avengers movies, but Chris Hemsworth is from Australia. It was there that he got his start, on the long-running soap "Home and Away."

He was on the show for three years, from 2004 to 2007, and though it wasn't his first role (he'd done a few small TV roles prior, including one on competing Aussie soap "Neighbours"), it was by far his biggest until he moved to the U.S. and became a megastar, seemingly overnight.
