I pray and try every day to be a better actor.
But I did a lot of boxing and I was captain of an Australian surf club.
The fact that I'm going to be unsuccessful at times is pretty well-balanced by the fact that I'm going to be successful at others.
So I went and did an audition and became the biggest radio actor in Sydney, and that's how it all started.
When people think it's successful, I'm grateful. When they don't - OK, I'll try again.
In the beginning I had a real work problem. Every time I had job I had to convince the immigration authorities I was the only man for that job and get a special work permit until I went under contract to MGM.
