My mate did acting at Ballarat uni. He had a bit part on Animal Kingdom and a one off role in Blue Heelers where he was a main character.
He's probably best known as the guy from the microwave chicken parma advertisements, tucking into the disgusting microwaved mess while his mates bounce around in slow motion.
It's a tough gig to get into, you need to have the right look I guess.
But if you don't try it, you'll never know.
