First off, this is not American or English bashing, just a simply explanation why Aussie actors can kick some hollywood ass.
We have a School in Australia, here is the link -http://www.nida.edu.au/ that has not only produced household names, such as Mel Gibson, Cate Blanchett and more. We have an an Industry that not only produces gritty Aussie Drama, but major studio's in Sydney and the Gold Coast, as well as, the City of Melbourne that offers landscapes similiar to those of the U.S. and Britain.
Our actors have to sound American or English if going abroad, so, if you need an actor that is Multi-Skilled? An Aussie is your Man/Woman. Our Industry does suffer for the simple reason, the big budget Hollywood blockbusters have the doh' to pay for advertising, but there are many Aussie flicks that do an amazing job with the resources at hand. This proves how proficient the Australian film Industry and all it's departments are at making films.
As for young actors, we have plenty who would work 18 hour days just to get a chance for a break in a Hollywood film, and young actors who've been on tv or film for 5 years here in Australia. So, it's not like they're new to the game, just the big Leagues.
So, why am I writing this spiel about Aussie actors and productions? It's simple really! It's untapped here in OZ! Yeah sure, we've had some great Aussie actors in the past & now that have made Hollywood their home, but, these actors aren't the best Australia has to offer...by a long shot!
