I like that you've posted some lesser known people - a little variety to the mix!

However, not all of them are actors (and this community is "actors only") and I'd rather not look each one up. Can you please go through and remove all the ones who are not actors?

Thank you!

Which ones aren't actors?
If you mean Rick Springfield, he is an actor. You can look him up (General Hospital, Battlestar Galactica, Forever Knight).
All the rest are actors, too. I know because I'm an Australian and I've seen them on my tv. They also have credits at the Australian Film Institute.
Have you even looked up the IMDB?
They are ALL actual Australian actors, unlike Mel Gibson or Russell Crowe.
Please check your facts again.

Have you even looked up the IMDB?

That would be the part where I said "I'd rather not look each one up"

The only one I looked up was Ben Lee and his one "actor credit" is listed farther down on the IMDb page, so I overlooked it. I apologize for jumping the gun.

I certainly don't mind being corrected (and perhaps I should have worded it as "I don't believe they are all actors..." instead, I'll keep that in mind for future), but I was pleasant and friendly in my comment to you - there was no need for you to be snotty in your reply.

I'm sorry but your post just didn't come across as pleasant or friendly in electronic print (this is how flame wars start, alas).

I did double check all the actors even though I knew they were actors because I'd seen them acting.

Ben Lee has one film credit, which is small, I will grant you, but nevertheless a lead role in an indy film.

I'm sorry that I took your comment as a slight to either obscure Australian actors or my abilities to differentiate between actor, muscian or model (in Australia, most have to multitask to survive).

If it's any help, I wasn't being snotty, I'd described myself as peeved that it was assumed I'd not carefully fact checked before posting, especially as my sole aim was to try and post some Australian actors other than Eric Bana.

Matt Day and Tom Long I'd particularly recommend as ones to watch.

I'm glad we get a chance to clear this up then, as I wasn't trying to slight or attack you. I just get a sizable amount of posts featuring models and singers and I really hate having to look each one up, so when I looked Ben Lee up and didn't see the acting credit I (wrongly) assumed it was another one of those posts. I'll try to keep in mind that you are one of those posters who would be sure before posting

I LOVE when more obscure actors are shared, because I try to not pick the same Licks over and over again, but sometimes it's hard as we get the same actors over and over and over and over again. ;-)

Okay, we're all sorted then. Sorry I got my back up. I promise, a question like "I didn't know Ben Lee acted, what's he been in?" probably would have resulted in a more genial response, but never mind. But for the want of a comma, some of these things :)

And yes, I know I'm a pain, always posting obscure chaps, but *somebody* has to - grin (those tags give me no end of bother but I always try to list the actors elsewhere in the post).

ps.

And just to be informative and sharing, here's a review of Ben's fillum:
