Charlie Clausen plays Zac.
Charlie Clausen was born in Melbourne. As the youngest of nine children, Charlie learnt the gift of the gab at a very young age.
"I didn’t dream of being an actor when I was a kid, but I was the youngest in a large family that would have these deep discussions around the dinner table. If you wanted to be heard, you had to learn how to speak up. The main thing I wanted to do was tell stories. I would write and short films and sketches and I guess acting became a by-product of that."
Charlie got his first big break on the ABC drama Head Start. He then scored a recurring role on McLeod’s Daughters, was a regular on the short-lived comedy series Big Bite, before landing the lead role of Alex Kirby on Blue Heelers, staying with the show until the series in finale.
In 2012, Charlie joined the cast of Home and Away, playing Zac MacGuire, a character that has a history with Natalie (Catherine Mack). Having spent the last few years behind the camera, Charlie is looking forward to the challenge of working on such a high profile series, while also balancing his numerous outside interests.
"I'm very excited to join the cast of Home and Away. I found out I got the role on my birthday and I couldn't think of a better gift. It's a fantastic opportunity for any actor and I've been made to feel really welcome by the cast, crew and production team. I'm looking forward to 2013 and beyond."
