Eric Bana dammit just unleashed what was
already there Unleashed what if there’s
anything this born and raised Ozzy actor
is particularly good at its being
incredibly versatile hey sweetheart it’s
a papa this is my voice style he’s
played a Romulan in the 2009 Star Trek
film an Israeli intelligence agent of
German Jewish descent in Munich and the
Hulk
plus he lent his voice to a shark in
Finding Nemo geez is there anything he
can’t do his range is truly unbelievable
as he can jump from an intense thriller
to a science-fiction film then step into
a rom-com
and make those transitions look easy
Something About Mary oh I love that
movie she’s so funny
it’s bet she panties in that one perhaps
he developed that skill by starting his
career as a sketch comedian in his
native Australia I know what I think
don’t really matter what I think
number nine Hugo Weaving soir in view a
humble vaudevillian veteran cast
vicariously as both victim and villain
by the vicissitudes of fate though he
was born in Nigeria to English parents
Hugo Weaving returned to Australia in
1976 and it’s there he began his acting
career in earnest although ironically
his first major role was as a Brit in
the Aussie series bodyline cheers Cheers
today he’s known to many as the masked
man in V for Vendetta
good evening the mother but this actor
has plenty of other roles under his belt
you could have the power of the gun his
parts as Agent Smith in the Matrix
movies and Elrond in the Lord of the
Rings trilogy might not be the biggest
roles in either series you have only one
choice the ring must be destroyed but
they did get him more international
attention than he had previously and
paved the way for major voice and acting
roles in many blockbusters
you see I was his greatest success
number eight Mel Gibson
I will invade England and defeat English
on their own ground born in New York
into a family with Australian heritage
Mel Gibson and his clan moved down under
when he was 12 free country I haven’t
you heard
before long Gibson was displaying that
special something that eventually made
him a Hollywood star while studying
theater acting in Sydney yeah you want
to see crazy okay it was in 1979 that he
took on one of the most iconic roles of
his career in George Miller’s Ossie
action flick Mad Max you really expect
me to go for that man that was the
springboard he needed to succeed in
America as a leading man first as an
action star and later as a producer and
director epipheo cluck he may have
encountered controversy in his work and
personal life but this Oscar winner
remains one of Australia’s most famous
acting exports
hey max that thing in there
that’s not the deuce no way number seven
Russell Crowe you would fight me
why not born in New Zealand but
splitting his childhood between NZ and
AHS Pro settled in Australia for good at
age 21 and using his natural talent
began focusing on his acting career oh
you’re talking you tell me who you see
how do you say Joss Harmon in Russian as
an Australian actors rite of passage
crew took on a role on the Aussie soap
neighbours installs pretty funny right
yeah if it said funny why don’t we
double a bit and within a decade he’d
made his Hollywood debut alongside some
a-list talent in the quick and the dead
but it was his work in mm gladiator that
won him the Academy Award for Best Actor
and made his a household name why are
you not entertained although he doesn’t
hold Australian citizenship crawls
self-identifies as Australian and was
recognised for service to Australian
society and Australian film production
with the Australian centenary medal in
2001 could it be he’s that old jailbird
that the tide now washes in but my name
and started running over your mum’s
point to him number 6
Heath Ledger so what’s up with your dad
is here is he paying the US born and
raised down under this Australians
show-stopping turn as the Joker in the
Dark Knight was arguably the best
performance of his career I believe
whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes
stranger it’s truly a tragedy that
ledger wasn’t alive to see the
admiration that would come his way
culminating in a posthumous Oscar for
Best Supporting Actor
I took Gotham’s White Knight and I
brought him down prior to his death in
2008 this actor was known for his
stylish performance in a Knight’s Tale
what color is my tunic as well as for
his intense work in the controversial
Brokeback Mountain and his breakout role
in 10 Things I Hate About You so now I
need to have a motive to want to be with
you today his legacy lives in the Heath
Ledger scholarship awarded to deserving
up-and-coming actors in Ledger’s native
Australia how you like that huh you took
God now hey Jeff number five Errol Flynn
so you’re not my name a lot of
contemporary movie fans might not be
familiar with him but back in his day
his Aussie American actor was considered
the very definition of smooth and suave
you blame Prince John no I blame Richard
this toss was here at home planning his
own people instead of deserting a fight
in foreign land though his lavish
lifestyle and well-publicized love life
often got more attention than his acting
skills in the right role he was
unbeatable now I’ll take this rock to
you until is got an inch of height left
on your dirty caucus another beating
faith this will be a good hub does not
mean you’ve given me in promise his
presence in swashbuckling movies through
the 30s and 40s made him a superstar in
his time unfortunately
major financial woes depleted the
fortune he had made and Flynn died and
untimely death at the age of 50 if the
great white father gives word to my
brother’s people
then long-haired his Long Knives will
defend Black Hills against all white men
however his reputation as one of the
first famous Ozzie’s in Hollywood
persists how this forest is wide can
shelter enclose and feed a band of good
determined men good swordsmen good
archers good fighters number four hugh
jackman kids go for more than a week if
half as good a chance of any found and
after a month almost none are not alive
