I caught the acting bug from my dad.
My dad did show me interesting movies at a young age. I remember he showed me 'A Clockwork Orange,' and my mom said, 'I never want to see this movie in my house again.'
My parents separated it, and that let me know that TV life wasn't my normal life; that was my job and my hobby.
The only show my mother could afford to take me to when I was growing up was 'Cats', for my birthday.
I remember bossing my younger siblings around and making them put on shows and skits with me.

The very rough story is this: Melbourne boy, out of both my parents' houses at a young age, lived with my grandmother, drama teacher twisted me into doing this TV thing that I thought my mates were doing, too.
As a kid, I was a dancer in Dick Whittington, Snow White and Cinderella. When I was 14, I played Baby Bear. I had a big head on, and you couldn't see my face. My mum was very disappointed.
I had the acting bug from a very early age.
