Russell Crowe actually went to Wales out of his
own pocket to get the accent right for Arthur. When asked, though, he
simply said "I really travelled to Wales to have a beer outside
Cardiff Arms Park. That was my priority." (Aussie

Bios
David Elfick and his company Palm Beach Pictures have produced feature films as diverse as the cult surfing hit Crystal Voyager (1972), the musical Starstruck (1982) and the acclaimed Blackrock (1997), based on events surrounding the murder of Leigh Leigh. He also helped in writing and producing the award-winning Newsfront (1978) and was executive producer for Rabbit Proof Fence (2002).
John Cundill's early writing credits include the acclaimed Australian mini-series Jackeroo (1984). Although his earliest work is the film The Outcast (1984), he has mainly stuck to writing mini-series and shows for television. His most recent work is the television series Ollie in 2001.

Russell Crowe, (Arthur Baskin) of course, needs no introduction.

Hasham in the cult series Blue Heelers. Martin's most recent work is as Jimmy Grattan in the mini-series Do or Die (2001).

His most recent work is as Chief Justice Napier in the up-and-coming Black and White (2002).
