Daniel Henshall and Toby Wallace are playing the leads in 'Acute Misfortune', a biopic of the acclaimed Australian painter Adam Cullen, who battled drugs and alcoholism and died in 2012, aged 46.
Jacqueline McKenzie made her film debut in Geoffrey Wright’s 1992 movie 'Romper Stomper' as Gabe, the ill-treated lover of Russell Crowe’s Nazi skinhead Hando. So the actress was delighted when Wright told her two years ago he was working on a contemporary TV series which would follow Gabe, two other characters from the original film and Gabe’s estranged son, Kane, during a race riot in Melbourne.
Toby Wallace was around 16 years old when he first saw Geoffrey Wright’s movie 'Romper Stomper', which was released in 1992, three years before he was born.
Kirsty McGregor won the prize for best casting for a feature film for See-Saw Films’ 'Lion' at the Casting Guild of Australia’s annual awards.
Dan Wyllie played a dim-witted, racist skinhead nicknamed Cackles together with Russell Crowe as Hando in Geoffrey Wright’s breakthrough 1992 film 'Romper Stomper'.
When Toby Wallace was cast as the son of the former lover of Russell Crowe’s character in Stan’s 'Romper Stomper' series, Geoffrey Wright was quick to dismiss suggestions the young actor is the next Crowe.
