Russell Crowe

I made a movie with him playing his son when I was...

25 or 26 something like that um i bought a property near where his property is in the bush because he was kind of like a you know um a mentor you know not you know i mean he's still talking about an hour's driveway but in the bush that's nothing you know right um

And I still know him today and he's in his 80s now.

So I had people like that.

When I was 12, I went to a... So I did an acting job when I was six and another one when I was eight.

And then I kind of forgot about it for a while.

And then I went on a school tour of a TV studio.

And it was a TV show called The Young Doctors was being made in that studio.

And there was a bit part actor, a guy called Roy Harris-Jones, who had been on...

a couple of shows that my parents had done and I liked him a lot and blah, blah, blah.

I hadn't seen him for years and there he was on that show.

And while the other kids are there going on their tour, he goes, are you here for an audition?

I said, no, I haven't done anything like that for ages.

And he goes, well, come on, let's go down the corridor and meet the casting director.

So I split away from the tour.

all the other kids go off and you know this is a camera this is a control room they're doing all that stuff and I go down and the casting director had a minute so she sat me down and talked to me and all that sort of stuff and two weeks later I was back in that building shooting a character on the TV show

So – and then that kind of reignited that part of, you know, my imagination.

But, you know, coming out of school and everything, I really thought that I was simply going to – you know, I was going to go into music.

That was my thing.

You know, if I was going to pursue anything, it was going to be music.
