Personal Quote:

It feels like we've been married for a long time and there are certain things that are never going to resolve themselves within the marriage. It's an interesting way for us to find the context for this kind of constant spat. See more »

He began his acting career with the Queensland Theatre Company in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. See more »
