of the political party, Australians Against Further
Immigration. His mother was also a prominent supporter of
Pauline Hanson's One Nation party.
Initially better known in Australia and the UK as Billy
Kennedy in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, a role he
played from 1994 to 2000, he has since appeared in the drama
Death in Holy Orders, as well as the movies, Uptown Girls
and Swimming Upstream.
He is currently based in the USA playing the role of "Dr.
