Alex article - The Daily Telegraph

Post by coco »

Alex has a mention in an article from The Daily Telegraph (Australia):

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/s ... 5754722074

The section about Alex:
Our blokes are tops

AUSSIE leading men are an uncomplicated lot. Those were the thoughts of CBS vice president of casting Matt Skrobalak on our recent successes in Hollywood.

His comments followed the announcement that little-known Australian actress Amber Clayton would join fellow Aussie Alex O'Loughlin in the much-anticipated medical drama Three Rivers.

"Alex is massive at the moment. You only have to go online to see that there's a million fans out there,'' Skrobalak said.

"I think the Aussies are rugged, and, yeah, a bit blokey and that's definitely working for them.

"Alex is a classic Aussie leading man - smart, sexy and extremely talented. The other thing is you guys don't have these massive egos, are easy to get on with. It's easy to see why they're working.''

O'Loughlin, Ben Lawson, Matt Passmore and David Lyons, among others, will all launch key network dramas in the States in the next month.

That's lovely--and it really does seem to be true. Aussie blokes, at least the actors among them, seem to be a happy, undemanding, hardworking, not to mention gorgeous lot.

Not for nothing - as we say in NYC - but how did they forget Simon Baker? Nominated for an Emmy and the lead in CBS #1 show? Yow.

Good point....maybe they think Simon's been over here long enough that he's not considered an Aussie export any more

Whoops!

Firstly :tongue:

Secondly, I have six words for you: Alex O'Loughlin, Simon Baker, Eric Bana. (All Aussie blokes as found on beaches, in bars, and possibly construction sites...)

PS - I did say farmers in the first place. Someone else mentioned construction workers. :whistle:
