Biography

Simon Baker's career trajectory began to take shape in 1992, when he was honored with Australia's most esteemed Logie award, specifically recognizing his outstanding talent as the Most Popular Newcomer. This early recognition not only served as a catalyst for his future success but also marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life, as he made the decision to relocate to Los Angeles with his family.

Confidential, which went on to win the prestigious Academy Award in 1997.
