Bryan Brown

Birth date: 23.06.1947

He began working in insurance and started to act in amateur theatre performances. There he discovered his passion for acting. In 1964 Brown went to England, eventually winning minor roles at the Old Vic, and later returned to Australia to join the Queensland Theatre Company. He made his first appearance in the movies in 1977, with a small role in The Love Letters From Teralba Road. During the next two years he played in several more Australian films. In 1980, Brown became known to the international audiences for his performance in Breaker Morant. Although he went on playing roles in Australian productions for several years more, he appeared also in American TV miniseries. The first of them, A Town Like Alice (1981), won him popularity in the United States, and with the second, The Thorn Birds (1983), starring Richard Chamberlain and Jean Simmons, he was nominated for the Emmys. Several years later he starred in several films which had international success, like Tai-Pan, with Joan Chen, Gorillas in the Mist, with Sigourney Weaver, and Cocktail, with Tom Cruise. In the 90s and more recently Brown went on appearing in American and Australian TV productions and occasionally also in movies. Since 1983 he is married to actress Rachel Ward, who he met when shooting the TV miniseries The Thorn Birds in this same year.
