Deathly role temporarily tames lively larrikin
Section: News, pg. 005
If the new Australian film Look Both Ways is as funny as the actor who stars in it, than everyone will be lining up to watch it.
Aussie actor William McInnes, known for his leading roles in drama series Blue Heelers and Sea Change, arrived in Darwin yesterday to promote the new film, which was released in cinemas last week.
In an interview with the Northern Territory News he was jumping off
the walls and proved to be a real larrikin.
"I've always been the class clown,'' McInnes said.
But he put all the comedy stunts in the closet in his latest acting role, playing a man who is far from being a comedian.
In Look Both Ways, McInnes, 41, plays a photographer who has just recieved devastating news -- he has cancer.
"It's a great movie and I really enjoyed acting in it,'' he said. "It's not your usual storyline -- the whole thing is about not being ruled by fear and death.''
He said there had been lots of positive feedback about the film.
"It's been in the top 10 since it was released last week, which is fantastic.''
Look Both Ways was written and directed by McInnes's wife, Sarah Watt. "It was a bit intense working with her but she was very fair to everyone and only sent me to the naughty corner a few times,'' he joked.
McInnes said he had no plans of chasing a role in the next Hollywood blockbuster but said he was deciding on whether to do some telemovies.
When not being under the spotlight, McInnes loves to just be a father. He has a son Clement, 12, and daughter Stella, who is seven.
He flies out of Darwin today.
