Next person biography:
Born in New South Wales, Australia, Jack Bisley is a talented actor who has made a significant impact on the Australian film and television industry. His early work in the 1970s typified the "Aussie larrikin" stereotype, with his lively and animated acting style, blonde hair, and lairish grin.
Bisley began his career in the surfie flick Summer City (1977),alongside fellow NIDA graduate Mel Gibson. He then appeared in the minor role of Newsfront (1978),before landing the role of quick-tempered police officer "Jim Goose" in the action thriller Mad Max (1979). In the same year, he also played the role of a wildcat miner in the gritty outback tale of The Last of the Knucklemen.
Throughout the 1980s, Bisley found himself in regular demand in both Australian cinema and television. He appeared in a variety of fine productions, including "A Town like Alice" (1981),The Highest Honor (1982),Squizzy Taylor (1982),and Silver City (1984).
In the 1990s, Bisley continued to work in television, appearing in popular shows such as "The Flying Doctors" (1985),"Emma: Queen of the South Seas" (1988),and "G.P." (1989). He also had a role in the period piece "The Big Steal" (1990),as a slick-talking and shonky car salesman. However, he was back on the side of good in the prime rating TV series "Police Rescue" (1990).
Bisley's extensive career in the 1990s included great performances in many TV productions, such as "Halifax f.p: Sweet Dreams" (1996),Breaking News (1994),and four years as tough detective "Jack Christey" in Water Rats (1996).
Throughout his nearly three-decade career, Bisley has been a key actor in the growth of Australian cinema and television, with a wide range of roles in both film and television.
