He worked on the land for near six years but decided to give it away when he realised he would not earn enough money to buy his own farm. He did various jobs, including police cadet, shop assistant and salesman, before he began to study acting in Perth in 1941. He moved to Sydney in 1947 and ended up becoming one of the leading radio actors in the city, appearing in more than 500 radio plays and serials. He won the Macquarie Acting Award for Best Actor.[1]
He moved into writing and producing. He died suddenly in Melbourne in 1969.[2]
