Jeffrey Walker is young, but already a big star. Not only in his homeland
Australia, but also in the rest of the world.
He starred in many TV shows. Ocean Girl, The Wayne Manifesto, Malcolm
in the Middle, Round the Twist and Thunderstone (see picture) are just
some shows he worked on. Judging of this we probably hear of him in the
future. Only question that remain...Is it a real tiger he worked with?
We might never know.
Jeffrey starred in Ocean Girl alongside David Hoflin and Marzena Godecki.
BIOGRAPHY
Jeffrey Walker is a well known face to millions of families in Australia
and around the world. A veteran
actor at the age of 14, Jeffrey was a mere seven years of age when
he appeared in his first feature film,
PROOF with Hugo Weaving. From that time on Jeffrey has rarely been
out of work!
Jeffrey's volume of work includes many Australian children's and adult
series but it is through the series
OCEAN GIRL that Jeffrey is seen in over 70 countries around the world.
Jeffrey plays BRETT BATES in the
series, the youngest of the BATES family who befriend the mysterious
Ocean Girl, NERI.
Jeffrey is soon to embark on the fourth series of OCEAN GIRL to be filmed in 1997. It seems Jeffrey and BRETT have almost grown up together, "We are similar in some ways, we like to have fun no matter what and we both love adventures." There has been no lack of excitement for Jeffrey in this role - riding jet skis and waverunners, scuba diving, boating and four wheel motorbiking are just some of the adventures Jeffrey has had on the series.
But when Jeffrey has a break between series he tends to get down to
serious business. What other
fourteen year old has a property portfolio! With some advice from his
parents Jeffrey has invested
his earnings wisely in property, shares, a car and a business.
Jeffrey also loves to play sports - swimming, bike riding, water skiing
and knee boarding are just a
few. His favourite band is the Beatles and licorice is his favourite
food. "My friends at home treat
me like anyone else but I do feel different - I've worked with adults
for half my life and schools
never been a big factor for me, I do most of it on film sets."
Jeffrey has his sights firmly set on a long career in the film and television
industry. "Acting itself will decide if
I'm good enough to continue down that path", he modestly states, "but
I've also learnt a lot of the
technical side of things and I'm interested in becoming a Director
of Photography and possibly a Director or
Producer". To do that Jeffrey plans on studying at film school
in Australia.
In the meantime Jeffrey dreams of working with Directors such as Steven
Speilberg and George Lucas.
"It would be fun to work on a film such as INDIANA JONES or STAR WARS".
And when he does hit
Hollywood Jeffrey would very much like to work with stars like Robin
Williams, Tom Hanks or
Elisha Wood.
And though these may be dreams, there's no doubting Jeffrey will give
it his best shot. "If you've
got a goal don't let anyone stand in your way. Anyone can achieve something
if they really want
it". Words of wisdom from a 14 year old who has already achieved more
than some people would
ever dare to dream of.
