But I grew up in a small town in the west.People there don't have big dreams.When I was young,I looked only at what I thought was possible in our small town.We lived far away from the big cities. We didn't even have a theater. Films were shown in the school library. There wasn't a lot to do.
--When you were 18 years old you went to univisity in Melbourne. You studied law. Why didn't you study art?
--Because my father didn't want me to study art. He said that I could never find a good job as an art student. My father wanted me to study medicine or engineering⁷. Well I chose to study law. It was boring to me. In my free time I join the student club. I spend many many evenings there. we used⁸ to sing dance and act on the stage.
-- And when did you decide to become an actor?
-- When I met my wife Fiona in the students club.She made me leave the university and start career with her in the theater.
-- You had a job in the theater before playing your first film? How did that come about?
-- In the first film I acted I was only given a small part. It was The dream machine. Fiona introduced me to the director⁹. I was only a beginning actor and didn't have any experience. It was a small beginning but it was the beginning of my career
