I came to the United States to see what would happen in 2000 after working for 20 years in Australia and asked my agent to look out for the nasty roles because I'd become famous for playing the nicest man in Australia. So I wanted to play bad guys.
The atmosphere and the first days of Test matches against Australia are incredible.
I've been a Nick Cave fan since the early '80s when he was part of The Birthday Party thing singing Australian self-destructive rock band and I've always followed his work and loved it.
I love Australia. I love coming here, I love playing here and I love the support. It's my passion to hopefully one day be able to represent the green and gold. That's the ultimate goal.
I put a bushfire out. It was one of the most incredible things, terrifying. We get them a lot in Australia.
We were living in California, and it just wasn't conducive for the lifestyle that we wanted with kids. Los Angeles is tricky to get around, there's paparazzi to deal with, and I had this feeling that I just wanted to move back to Australia.
I feel really qualified to write about Australia.
Australia has a thing where apparently it's fine for me to dress up as an Asian woman. No one has questioned that.
In Australia, I'm built up as this comedy hero, which was never my intention.
Like, Australians definitely don't walk around dressed up in blackface going, 'Ha-ha.'
