Fortunately, after reading Jack Kerouac's novel "The Dharma Bums" he wised up and became a "romantic" beatnik and (with no money but much optimism) drifted around Australia for 5 years convinced he'd find(1) love and (2) enlightenment.Finally found some and settled in Sydney. Studied acting for 2 years then went to work for an SP bookie.Resumed full time acting at the age of 48.Has a natural Australian accent (plus good Texas, Louisiana and Bronx) --nice guy---fun to work with-
