About Me

I was born in Australia. My parents and brothers Steve and Tim still live near Sydney in house which is located right on the coast of the ocean. My father wanted me to finish school sucessfully and work for his enterprise, but I was a young rebel and spent my lessons rather on the beach than in school. When I was 10 I ran away from home once and was placed in a boarding school as punishment. At 17, I graduated from school. At 20, I got connected with a big American Fashion company. Being sure that this job wouldn't interest me forever, I started working as model and modelled jeans for two years, when I suddenly got the message from my agent that an Italian film director had seen me and wanted to meet me. Curious, I took a plane to Rome where immediatly was cast as 'Tarabas' in 'Princess Fantaghiro'. After that, my career started and I got the leading roles as the singer of a rock group and as a pirate. I model and work for famous companies as Lagerfeld, Ray Ban and Chiemsee. I also won the "Pop Rocky Award" in Germany for one of the three best Actors in the early 1998.

For all my fans! : May 14, 2008

This journal is for all of you who admire me as an actor and also as a man. Here I will tell you more about my life and my thoughts.

I was born on 6th of March 1969 in Sydney, Australia on the coast of the ocean. I'm 1.90 tall, reddish-black hair. People described me as a bit mystical young man with "eyes that could melt an iceberg". When I arrived in Rome for the role of "Tarabas" (The Dark Wizard)  in "Princess Fantaghiro" some woman got a crush on me.

In childhood I wasn't a very quiet boy but a rather young mutineer instead. Already in the first year, I was discharged from school because I regularly missed lessons during which I spent on the beach.

When I was 10, I ran away from home once. As a punishment, my father placed me in a boarding school. It was terrible. I had to wear uniform and live by strict regulations. I played various pranks with my brother when he also went there. One of my brothers even went by ship to Malaysia to take part in a wind-surfing  event.

At 17, I had a high-school diploma. And there was nothing left to work with my father. At 20, I got connected with a big American fashion company which sent me to New York. But I was sure that this job wouldn't interest me forever.

On holidays in Spain and Italy, I met young people who worked as models and earned money which they spent traveling around the world. I thought it over - why couldn't I also do that? I went to London and applied for a model in bureau which served for Europe. I was modeling jeans for two years till I was fed up with it.  

And then suddenly I got message from my agent that some Italian film director has seen my photos on posters and wants to meet me.  It arouse my curiosity and without delay, I took the plane to Rome.

I am the type of man who swiftly takes a decision. In Rome some strange woman met me at the airport and already there, literary, pushed under my nose the script of "Princess Fantaghiro" and whispered: "if you'll get this role, I'll be your agent." 

She took me to the director who immediately wanted me to show them everything I could and he fixed it with the camera. I had already managed to look into the script and knew that the role of Tarabas will come easy to me.

Two days later, i signed the contract and in august of 1994 we started shooting. At first in Italy, then in Czech and Thailand. Shooting wasn't less fantastic as the tale itself. Of course, not everything was so easy. Sometimes I even had to cheat. When asked if I knew how to ride a horse, I bravely answered "of course!", knowing that only once I had sat on the horse.   
No way back, surrounded by filming group, I had to get on my black horse. Thank Lord, I kept in the saddle and didn't fall down. 

We filmed in Italy and other places, but for a place to live, I chose Paris, because I feel very good there. The capital of France has it's unique aura. In two years I got a lot of new friends. My three-room apartment is right in the center of Paris. It has antiquated furniture and splendid carpets and there's nothing modern. I don't like fashionable furniture.

At my disposal there is also attic terrace with lots of plants. I'll live there till I get married. Then I will build a house to live with my wife and children.    
Maybe it will be a house in Toscana where the legend of Fantaghiro was born and, as her prince, I will look for my bride by her eyes, because eyes expresses everything and eyes never lie.

But for now I feel good enough with music. There are about 600 CD's in my collection. The picture in which I'm filming now also is related with music. I'm acting as a singer of a rock-group. It is a very sad movie.

Quite different is another film where I act, too. It's a thriller about two brothers who have fallen in love with the same woman. Here I play the role of a pirate. I liked this role very much.

I enjoyed working with great actors like Mario Adorf, Ursula Andress, Brigitte Nielsen and Horst Buchholz. I also got along very well with the rest of the cast, Alessandra Martines and Kim Rossi Stuart. All of us did a great job.

At the moment I'm not very active as an actor. My lost project in which I appeared was the short movie called "The Razor's Edge" in 2005. 

The reason for this absence is the birth of my child and because of this I putted all my dedication and love into the role of a Father.
