I am proud to be an actor.

To put what you see on paper is the same as funneling what you feel through yourself as a performer.

I worked at Mark Foy's during the day and studied drama at night.

So I went and did an audition and became the biggest radio actor in Sydney, and that's how it all started.

I am a poor student sitting at the feet of giants, yearning for their wisdom and begging for lessons that might one day make me a complete artist, so that if all goes well, I may one day sit beside them.

I pray and try every day to be a better actor.

To a large degree, those early lean days were self-imposed.
