JEFFREY WALKER




BACK HOME

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.
