For Liam Hemsworth, the show must go on.

While shooting a scene for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in Atlanta last week, the actor wound up with a bit of an injury. But far be it from Liam to let that stop him.

"I twisted my knee," the 22-year-old star told USA Today. "I try to just fight through it. There's so many people standing around waiting for you to do your thing. You feel sort of obligated not to let everyone down."

Hemsworth also revealed that his character, Gale, will be getting a lot more screen time in the highly anticipated sequel.

"There's a bunch of action in this one," he said. "All of the characters have much more action than they did in the first one."

Which also means even more opportunities to get hurt. Stay safe, everyone!

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire began filming last month and is expected to wrap in December. The movie is scheduled to be in theaters on Nov. 22, 2013.
