I was an extra in this film


I am 'Boy at Icecream Truck'

Fun day, got to meet Judy Davis and Colin Friels, see director Gillian Armstrong in action and have lunch with the lovely Claudia Karvan.

I only got paid $30 which I'm not sure is right for a full day on set, but whatever, I was only 12 and it's one of those experiences I won't forget.

Not a bad movie either, which is a relief for my one and only screen appearance ;)

I DO NOT OWN/NOR HAVE I SEEN THAT FILM...IM GONNA HAVE TO BE ON THE HUNT FOR IT NOW.

It’s a sweet drama film, just don’t expect any action! If you like Judy Davis her performance makes it worth it, it’s one of her best.

The boy at the ice cream truck was Oscar worthy too 😬

Wow. You played that deformity really well.
Do you still act today?
