ANITA
FOR Bartholomew Walsh, performing is an instinct. His father, Mark, said that even as a child, he was forever filming his own stories on the family video camera, or performing skits with his brother Sam. That commitment has now paid off, with Bartholomew recently stepping into the shoes of a Hollywood legend, Rock Hudson, in a play at Melbourne’s Malthouse Theatre titled Playing Rock Hudson. Bartholomew, who grew up in Wangaratta and whose family still resides in the area, has fond memories of an idyllic childhood, particularly time at his grandparents’ home in Rutherglen. “They live on a big property surrounded by wineries, and have sheep and chooks,” he said, paused between his busy rehearsal schedule. “It was a place of mystery for me…there was always something new to do and somewhere profound to explore.” His father Mark, who is principal of Our Lady’s Primary School, applauds his son’s drive to follow his dream of acting. “It’s a bit of a brave move for people to do that…to follow that passion’s a real challenge,” he said. But he admits performing is literally in the genes for his son, with his mother Cathie performing quite often earlier in her life, his grandfather having been involved in television, and one of his sisters teaching drama to high school students. continued page |
