Spends his time between Australia and Europe

Starred as "Elling" in a Sydney version of the successful Norwegian play by the same name.

I wish I was in a position to spend a whole year in Northern-Norway. To me, growing up in Australia, this is so exotic, so wild and extreme. And it's friendly here. Northern-Norway is an exciting mix, a cross between the images I've seen from rural America and Eastern-Europe. Both in arcitecture and the way people look. [2004]
