I saw that earlier today. When it comes to movies and TV I must be the most ignorant person in the country and even to me he is a well-known actor. I think he has been in every Australian production since the 50's. I've always enjoyed his work. He seems a down-to-earth sort of person who alway brought that quality to the characters he played. Australian entertainment will be the poorer without him.

I've also seen him interviewed and on TV 'panel' shows and he seemed to have a sort of optimism and inner strength that would see him through hard times. I hope he can enjoy his remaining time.

I watched CrackerJack a few months ago and Bad Eggs just a couple of weeks ago and he was good in both.

Good luck Bill.

That's not good news at all.

He's an Australian icon in the movie industry. I wish him all the best.
