Synopsis
One of Australia’s most consistent leading men, the gifted Colin Friels got his break alongside John Hargreaves in the prison film Hoodwink (1981) before a co-starring role with Noni Hazelhurst in Monkey Grip (1982) established him as one of the Australia’s most sought-after actors. His reputation was assured following an award-winning performance in Malcolm (1986), and he followed up in the 90s alongside Miles Davis in Dingo, and with a stand-out performance in the sci-fi classic, Dark City. Here are two essential Friels performances in this celebration of an Aussie icon.
Malcolm
“…it's so easy to adore this marvellous comedy that won Best Picture at the 1986 AFI awards.” - Urban Cinephile. Friels plays the simple-minded but daring Malcolm in this Oz comedy classic directed by Nadia Tass (The Big Steal, Amy).
Dingo
Friels stars as John "Dingo" Anderson, an outback musician and dingo trapper who longs to travel to Paris and play trumpet with his hero Billy Cross (late jazz great Miles Davis, in his only ever acting appearance). Directed by Rolf de Heer (Bad Boy Bubby, The Tracker).
