Isaac Eshete

In 2006 he was cast-ed as an extra in the Melbourne based 'Rush' Series. He had such a distinctive and unique look that creators Christopher Lee and John Edwards couldn't use him more than a few times in various scenes. Given his experience and enthusiasm, Isaac was given a featured role with lines, more pay and the chance to portray not one but two characters.

I was amazed how different life was when I moved to Australia from Ethiopia. I had learnt to quickly appreciate the better life I was given and not take it for granted.
