Tuong was something of an amateur businessman, always out to make a quick buck. Were there any of his storylines that you particularly enjoyed filming?
I remember Tuong trying to buy a dot com business from Lou and Madge – out to make a quick buck. I think my favourite memory is the end of year finale where Tuong entered a bird-man rally, built a flying machine that fly all the way across the river. Unfortunately I didn’t get to fly it – they had a stunty in to do it.

Were there any cast members who you particularly enjoyed working with?
Everyone was great to work with. I can’t remember a single person that I didn’t like. Although Ryan Maloney was always a last minuter when it came to learning his lines – it was funny to see him trying to wing it everytime. Jesse Spencer was a great guy – Jacinta Stapleton I got along with really well. Jonathan Dutton and I used to play battleship in the green room waiting for our scenes.

Are you still in touch with any of your former Neighbours castmates?
I was always in and out for little bursts of time – and because I had uni and juggling other work I always used to race off after shoot so no I didn’t really get enough time to get to know people as well as I wanted to. What often happens on shoots is you get to know people really well for concentrated periods of time and then you move onto the next job – and because in this industry you meet so many people its hard to keep in touch with everyone. It’s a lame excuse, but it’s the reality.
