Matt Passmore — Australian Actor born on December 24, 1973,

Matt Passmore is an Australian actor. He is known for McLeod's Daughters, Blue Heelers, and his first American television show, The Glades... (wikipedia)

I grew up in suburban Brisbane, so to say you wanted to be an actor was a ridiculous concept.
There is a 90% failure rate for most shows. It's difficult for any show to write for the next season.
'The Glades' is a light cop procedural about a cop from Chicago who got shot in the bum by his captain and made a change down to Florida, so he's a bit of a fish out of water.
My parents would never put too much hype into anything. They're very proud of me, but they're Queensland people. They're just glad that I have a job.
You have to just enjoy yourself sometimes, and the audience will, too. Not every role has to be 'The Taming of the Shrew.'
