I can't speak for anyone else, but in my case, I sort of fell into acting.

I think that Americans find the Australian humour and the energy of Australians very refreshing - we are quite self-deprecating, we're light-hearted and can have a laugh.

I know my parents are really proud of me, and they think I've become successful, so that's nice, but there's still so much I want to achieve in my life.

I'm very much into animal welfare.

I think Aussies try to stay humble.

I love zombie films like Danny Boyle's '28 Days Later' - I thought it was so brilliantly done and so grounded in reality. I was definitely thrust into the zombie world watching that film.

I feel like if I ever got into some sort of rumble on the street, I will actually be able to defend myself.
