Visit inspires students
EDITION: 1
HE is best known for portraying typically down-to-earth, laconic Australian men in television series such as Sea Change, Blue Heelers and the recent movie Look Both Ways. And that is what Clontarf Beach High School students got when rangy actor William McInnes made an impromptu visit to his alma mater last week. McInnes, who has now added author to his resume with his book A Man's Got to Have a Hobby, happily spent a few hours discussing his acting and writing career with senior english and drama students.
Teacher Stuart MacDonald said it was a rare treat to have the busy actor return to his roots. "He read extracts of his book which relates to him growing up on the Peninsula in the 1960s and 1970s,'' Mr MacDonald said. "The group was spellbound by him, you could hear a pin drop.
"William also encouraged students to follow their dreams whether it be in acting, filmmaking, writing or whatever.
