Interview: Actor Ben Nicholas

IMG_2473You may recognise Ben Nicholas from his days playing Scott “Stingray” Timmins in Neighbours 10-odd years ago.  Ben just recently finished the mock-reality web-series Footballer Wants A Wife. I spoke to Ben about this exciting new project, reality television and the death of Stingray.

You’re currently working on Footballer Wants A Wife. Where did the idea come from?

Well, after a really bad trip to LA in search of work, I decided to take matters into my own hands and write my own show. Naturally, I wrote myself as the lead [laughs].

OZ Comic Con Melbourne Write Up 2015

So, OZ Comic Con feels like it was a while ago – and to be fair, it kind of was, so I don’t remember as much as I probably should. But here’s a bit of a write up for anyone who is interested in panel tidbits and whatnot.

I’m going off memory so some details may be slightly off.

Includes: David Hewlett, David Nykl, David Wenham, Bruce Campbell, Stephen Hunter, Adam Brown, Jewel Staite, Scott Patterson and Billy Boyd (with Dominic Monaghan).

I have so many warm fuzzy memories!

Interview: Musician Simon Gibson of ‘The Coolites’

a2664581741_10Singer, songwriter, guitarist and drummer – Simon Gibson is a well rounded performer. He returns to Australia, after living/performing in Vietnam, with the newly-formed band The Coolites and brings you their debut album Caravan Park Summers. I spoke to Simon about living overseas, performing, summer memories and the new album.

You just got back from Saigon. How was it? I’ve never been.

Saigon’s a great place. It’s pretty wild [and] it wears you out. It’s [also] very busy and noisy but it’s an interesting place to live – particularly when you first go there. In the first year or two, it’s actually really really good, but I’ve been there for over 7 years. Having said, I will be going back there in a while for a couple of weeks because I still have a lot of stuff over there. It’s a good place, it’s fun, it’s interesting. It’s another world really.

My Five Favourite Will Smith Songs

I’m not one of those people who listens to the same genre of music over and over again. In fact, my music is all kinds of eccentric, strange and wonderful that my shuffle mix would blow your mind. The music I listen to depends on the mood I’m in and lately its just called for classic Will Smith tunes. So here, I bring you – my five favourite Will Smith songs.

Be prepared to take a blast into the past. It’s been a while since he released a song! I’d love to see Will combine making movies and releasing songs into one again.

Thoughts of Jurassic World (2015)

To be honest, I really wasn’t excited to see this movie. I’m a huge fan of dinosaurs and the Jurassic Park franchise but to me this movie seemed like pointless and unnecessary add on to an already completed trilogy. But I went along, and this is what I thought …

SPOILERS!
