unfortunately just for one episode of each show and it seemed that Luke could never quite get the break he needed. During this time Luke met and married his wife Samantha and the couple now have three beautiful daughters, Holly, Ella and Harper Rose. Samantha always encouraged Luke’s career and in 2013 he won a part in an Australian film featuring Vinnie Jones and Emilie de Ranvin (of Lost fame) which is due out next year and is about four friends who decide to join a World War I group, The 34th Battalion who serve on The Western Front. It was also this year that Luke garnered a part in The Reckoning, an upcoming
Luke
thriller movie in which Luke plays the lead role. It was soon after Luke gained his role in Neighbours that middle brother Chris also decided acting was something he wanted to do and began to pursue a career in the industry. Auditioning for rival soap Home & Away for a role that he was ultimately turned down for, Chris realised acting was something he was good at and it seemed the producers thought so too as they created the role of Kim Hyde specifically for Chris. Appearing in 171 episodes, many of which focused around his character, Kim quickly made a name for himself with the viewing public and knew he wanted to move into movies as soon as possible.
Chris
After spending a couple of years attending auditions and castings both in Australia and on visits to the United States, Chris impressed director J.J Abrams when he was casting his 2009 film Star Trek and he was subsequently cast to play George Kirk (main character James T. Kirk’s father) in the opening scenes of the film. Unfortunately the role was only a small one as the character dies soon after the film begins but Chris had begun his film career and certainly now the movie making heavyweights would notice this handsome up-andcoming actor.
