G’day mates, it’s now time for the qualifiers from Australia and New Zealand to battle it out for the Ultimate Actor award. Australia, famous for deadly spiders, and New Zealand, famous for Shelob the deadly spider, boast an absolute shitload of famous actors and actresses some of whom you may not know were from down under. Bonus point if you can name the person below who was actually born in the Middle-East. Voting starts now.
Honourable mentions: Crocodile Dundee (AUS), The Balrog (NZ), Jim Robinson (AUS), The Summatrin Rat-Monkey (NZ)
You can still vote in the USA and Africa qualifiers so do it!

I’m glad I can teach you something 🙂 I didn’t know it either before I did my research!

Man I am loving this! And loving the Neighbours and Home and Away references as well. I once saw Alf Stewart in pants in Southampton. He was ace.
LikeLike
Hahaha, pants! That’s made my day. I’m guessing he just played Alf Stewart in the Panto?
LikeLike
Pretty much! There was a lot of “flamin this” and “flamin that” and “you great gallar” etc!
LikeLike
Haha, that was meant to say panto rather than pants, which would still have been ace in my books!

Please note that us Aussies generally count Russell Crowe as one of our own. It kind of happens with musos and actors that we claim them once they reach a certain level of awesomeness. Plus they always end up moving over here anyway,
NZ can keep Lucy Lawless though…

I’ve noticed you guys claim everyone. Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman are actually American! And Sam Neill is from my homeland 🙂
LikeLike
You appear to be quite confused. All three of those are definitely Aussies (although we are probably happy to get rid of Mel Gibson at this point in time).
LikeLike
Haha yeah Mel kinda gives you guys a bad name 🙂

Ten votes go straight to Flamin’ Alf!
I have so many Geoffrey Rush stories because he used to visit a bookshop I worked in ages ago. And I accidentally sat next to him on the train once. Nice guy.

I want to hear your Geoffrey rush stories! I’d love to meet him 🙂

Well… this one time at the bookshop, we sold DVDs as well. I was working on the register and Geoffrey Rush came up to buy something! He was buying a DVD – I said hello and was a bit star-struck and he probably thought I was an idiot. Then I noticed he was buying a DVD of the film Shine. The following conversation followed:
Me: Wait… don’t they give this to you for free?
Geoffrey Rush: No. I actually forgot to tape it off the television.
Me: LOLOLOLOL
Gold!

Haha that’s excellent! You made an excellent point though, why didn’t they give him a copy?!

Eric Bana was actually a stand up comedian in Australia before he started acting. You should check out his first big Australian film ‘Chopper’ which is excellent
