Interview
Tell us about your character
Hugo Austin's very interesting. Like everyone on series television he's got some sort of dark past, And he does have a temper. I like playing him because if you had a character that was just nice the whole time it would be boring. Hugo's charming as well. Which is of course why they chose me to play him. (laughts).
What's Hugo's job?
He's a dive master. You never think when you're watching Home and Away as I used to as a kid, I would be doing a scene where I would be hoping Alf (Ray Meagher) would open up part of his business so I could be a partner with him and run a dive operation out of the bait shop. When I had the first scene with him I had to take a moment, to take stock. I was thinking "Like wow. It's Alf! And I'm going to be his business partner!" You know what, Ray Meagher is really one of the nicest people.
