It’s all part of a grand plan the 32-year-old has had since he began performing but one which jeopardises the future of his popular Home And Away character.
The ambitious actor has played Darryl “Brax” Braxton on the hit Channel Seven series for three years now but it seems he’s starting to get itchy feet.
“I think the dream for any actor is to do well in America,” he said.
“It’s where I’ve always wanted to be. It’s hard though because at the same time, I’ve got this awesome job here.”
Producers last year allowed the former tradie from Dubbo to take a few months off to film his debut movie role, a small part in the blockbuster film Hercules.
Now they’re letting their biggest star take leave again, for two months’ worth of meetings that Peacocke hopes will land him his big break.
The last time Peacocke took off, writers were forced to put his hugely popular character Brax in jail. There are only so many times his absences can be accommodated, he concedes.
“We’ve filmed all of our cliffhanger stuff for this year,” he said. “Channel Seven have been really great with letting me take off for a while.”
This week, the long-running soap farewelled Lincoln Younes’ character Casey, Peacocke’s on-screen brother, in a dramatic murder storyline that prompted an outpouring from fans on social media.
Younes and Peacocke were part of the original trio of Braxton brothers, known as the River Boys, along with actor Dan Ewing who left for greener pastures earlier this year.
Credited with reviving Home And Away and boosting it's ratings, the characters have been popular with viewers and a gold mine for makers of the show.
On the weekend, Peacocke will wash off his burly character’s fake tattoos for the last time for a while and board a plane for Hollywood.
His fiance Bridgette Sneddon, who also joined the Summer Bay cast this year as Sophie, will join him in a few weeks’ time.
I get too homesick if I’m without Bridg for too long so I’m pretty glad she’s coming. Initially it’s me and mate who’s also chasing work over there, then she’ll join me.”
Between his meetings, facilitated by Peacocke’s American management, he and Sneddon will take some time out to explore the US, he said.
“We’ll definitely make time for a bit of travel.”
And after that, Peacocke said the plan is to return home to recommence work on Home And Away, saying he’s excited about the storyline coming up for Brax next year.
Of course, a big movie or TV part in America might change that.

Home and Away star Steve Peacocke has said that his character Brax will be determined to get revenge following a shock shooting in Summer Bay.
Casey Braxton will be the unlucky victim who loses his life in an upcoming storyline, leaving a devastated Brax as the only original River Boy standing. :crying:
Speaking to The West, Peacocke said: "It doesn't take much for Brax to get hot under the collar, as the audience knows.
"He is pretty old school; he is an eye-for-an-eye kind of bloke, so he won't let this rest until he gets his revenge.
"He doesn't care what happens to him - he is a man on a mission now."
Lincoln Younes, who plays Casey, confirmed his show exit earlier this year, adding that he was planning to head over to America to seek work.
Home and Away will air more dramatic scenes later this year when Brax and Andy Barrett get caught up in an explosion as they pursue revenge on Jake Pirovic.
As Brax (Steve Peacocke) becomes determined to get justice for his brother Casey's death, he and Andy (Tai Hara) engage in a car chase that culminates in a huge explosion.
Unbeknown to their loved ones, Brax and Andy have been secretly hatching a plan to get Jake, and they meet up late at night to drive to the coast.
Despite Brax warning Andy that there is a chance they might not come back alive, they go ahead with their plan and wait in the bushes near Jake's hide-out place.
However, their plan soon falls apart when Jake spots their tyre marks and quickly realises something is up. As Jake gets back in his car and speeds off, a car chase soon ensues as Brax and Andy follow him in hot pursuit.
When Brax aims his car at Jake in an attempt to run his enemy off the road, the two cars hurtle towards each other. As Brax and Jake emerge from the crash and engage in a fierce confrontation, the car suddenly explodes and two people are sent flying.
Hara told TV Week: "The moment has come for Andy's redemption. Andy and Brax need to end this before anything else happens and more people get killed."
Peacocke added: "Brax is not going to swerve. If it means having a head-on-collision with Jake, then so be it."
andy deserves no redemption and hannah is an idiot
brax should move again as he has no family left in the bay
andy deserves no redemption and hannah is an idiot
brax should move again as he has no family left in the bay
I agree lizann, Andy deserves no redemption. The writers obviously want him to be a "reformed" character to continue in the show to make up for the loss of both Heath & Casey in quick succession, but there are things he has done that cannot ever be forgiven. I reckon that most of the people in Summer Bay won't get to know of Andy's full involvement with Jake & the plot against Brax (& the drugs!) & they will think he is ok for going after Jake with Brax. I posted previously that I have seen photos of Andy seemingly back together with Hannah (recently filmed but not to air till next year). It will be ridiculous if the writers let this happen given everything that has happened & will show Hannah's judgement as extremely poor (again!) - it seems they may want everyone to think of them as the new Heath &Bianca!
Home and Away's Brax will be forced to face up to his past after he nearly strangles teenager Josh Barrett.
Having previously lashed out at his younger brother Kyle, Brax (Steve Peacocke) causes concern once again when he attacks Josh (Jackson Gallagher) while half asleep.
Brax's dark side frightens his girlfriend Ricky (Bonnie Sveen), who attempts to get him to open up about his troubles, but to no avail.
However, it soon becomes more apparent that Brax's temper is being triggered by newcomer Ash (George Mason), who knew Brax from his time in prison.
Ash's arrival in Summer Bay has brought back bad memories for Brax, but Ash remains the only one who is unconcerned about his violence.
Speaking to TV Week, Mason said: "Ash is a reminder for Brax of his prison past. He is the only one who knows what it was like for Brax in prison. Ash being in the Bay has definitely shaken Brax up.
"For Ash, what he is seeing with Brax is normal. That is what it was like in prison. He's like, 'How have you guys not seen this side? This is exactly what I saw in prison.'"
Over on Home and Away, Brax faces the toughest day of his life as his younger brother Casey is laid to rest in a moving funeral.
Summer Bay is in mourning as the day of the funeral arrives and Brax, Josh, Kyle and Andy carry Casey's casket from the hearse, as the River Boys and the community gather for the ceremony.
As Brax stands by Casey's coffin, Ricky can see that he's barely holding it together, and the day is made worse when Brax receives a threatening note from Jake Pirovic.
Although a furious Brax leaves the ceremony in search of Jake, Andy manages to bring him back and Brax delivers a moving eulogy about his relationship with his brother, breaking down as he apologises for not looking after him as he promised.

As the two men disappear in pursue of Jake, the Braxton household nervously wait for news, while a pregnant Ricky panics that she may never see Brax again.
With Brax and Andy keeping Jake's hideout under surveillance, their plan starts to fall apart when Jake arrives and realises they are there after spotting their tyre tracks.
As Jake jumps back into his car and speeds off, Andy and Brax pursue him in their own vehicle and a dangerous car chase ensues as Brax tries to force Jake off the road.

Article in today's The Sunday Telegraph newspaper in Sydney.
"It's news that will devastate Summer Bay fans: The country's most popular TV ster Steve Peacocke is quitting Home And Away to try his luck in Hollywood.
But before lovelorn teenagers start sending tissue sales soaring, although he has filmed his final scenes as Daryl "Brax" Braxton's on the Channel 7 soap, Peacocke will continue to be seen on our screens for most of this year.
His new wife Bridgette Sneddon has also finished up on the show and the pair have moved to Los Angeles to try their luck.
" it wasn't something I was looking forward to because I love the show and the people I work with so much," Peacocke said.
"But I think the key to any good TV series or storytelling is to leave the audience at the right point, and where we got to with Brax, we hit a point where it was the best point for him to exit the show."
Peacocke, 33 , who got a taste of Hollywood with a small role in the Brett Ratner blockbuster Hercules last year, filmed his final scenes before Christmas.
"Brax is still going to be a big part of the show for just about all of 2015," Peacocke said.
His departure signals a big shift in the show as he was the last of the original River Boys on Home And Away after Lincoln Younes and Dan Ewing finished up.
"It worked well because the three of us blokes acted well together," he said. "It brought something new and injected a different sort of edge into Home And Away.
"Every time I get a trade or a Garbo recognise me on the street, I think that wouldn't have happened six years ago. So many footballers and professional sports people love the show and I think we injected a bit of that inti it for the past four years."
Peacocke's departure means the lead hunk role has Ben handed to a new batch of males, including Kiwi George Mason. And of course, Brax's half brother, Kyle, played by Nick Westaway, remains integral to the show.
"Tai Hara is on there, as is Kyle Pryor and Nic Westaway, so there's plenty of good fellas to keep up the storylines for the blokes," he said.
I have liked the Braxtons but feel that Home and Away had turned a bit into the Braxton Show. I wish Steve and Bridgette good luck for their careers in Hollywood and hope that Home and Away now returns to the more traditional show it once was
I knew it was only a matter of time, so I`m not too disappointed. Brax was always my favourite, and I grew to like Heath and Casey too. But as soon as Heath went, I knew the others would follow.
I wonder if Kyle will stay? I can`t stand his singer girlfriend (whose name I can`t remember, and not caring enough to look), so if they both leave together I wouldn`t be sad at all. Oh yeah...Phoebe,
2015 will be the end of the Braxton era as we knew it. At least the make up staff won`t be spending too much time putting the fake tattoos on the Braxtons anymore. With all of Brax and Heaths inkings, it must`ve been a full time job.
:D
It's the end of the river boys. Can't say I didn't see that one coming.
I wonder what's going to happen to Ricky and the baby though...
Double
Oh yeah I had temporarily forgotten about them.. Good thinking Nell. I hope Ricky doesn`t leave...I like her.Quote:

It seems to me lately that H&A is just a stop gap for actors to get some experience before heading to LA. Seems rather selfish in a way. I can understand their ambitions, but it`s a shame for the fans.
Home and Away's Brax will struggle to clear his name when he is suspected of murder in an upcoming storyline.
Scenes airing in Australia have already shown Brax (Steve Peacocke) and former prison friend Ash (George Mason) take a trip out of Summer Bay in an attempt to track down Ash's sister and her dangerous boyfriend Dean.
When Dean ends up getting killed by a barman named Sam during their stay there, the finger is later pointed at Brax, who had headed out into the desert alone in search of him.
As the investigation into Dean's death starts to lead the police to Brax, Ash offers to take the wrap, knowing his friend has a baby on the way.
However, as Ash's memories of the trip start to come flooding back, TV Week reports that he will piece important bits of information together, remembering that Sam held a huge grudge against Dean.
Although Ash hopes that this information is enough to clear Brax's name, new policewoman Katarina (Pia Miller) is less enthusiastic, reminding them that the police have already looked into Sam and he isn't considered a suspect.
With no help from the police, Brax and Ash feel they have little choice but to return to the bush to find Sam and extract a confession.
Home and Away fans in the UK will see Dean's murder next week on Channel 5.
So back to prison for Brax and then Ash to stay and look after Ricky and the baby
Home and Away star Bonnie Sveen has paid tribute to her on-screen partner Steve Peacocke following his decision to leave the soap.
It was previously announced that Steve Peacocke has departed his role as Darryl 'Brax' Braxton, having filmed his final scenes.
Sveen, who plays Summer Bay's Ricky Sharpe, told TV Week "He has been the essence of my character's role in the show and a real central point of my experience at work.
"It's been a big adjustment for me. I miss him a lot. He's a very good friend. I definitely feel like working with him is the real heyday of my career."
With Ricky currently pregnant with Brax's baby, fans have been left to speculate over the future of the character once the River Boy leaves.

However, Sveen was keen to stress that Peacocke's departure does not spell the end of her time on the show.
She said: "Ricky is spreading her wings, as I am as a performer. We don't know what the future holds."
Home and Away actor Steve Peacocke has joined the cast of a new film starring Tina Fey.
The untitled Paramount Pictures project is based on Kim Barker's wartime memoir Taliban Shuffle, which is an account of her experiences as a terrorism and international affairs journalist.
Fey will play the self-confessed adrenaline junkie during her time in the field through Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, while Peacocke will play her bodyguard Nic, who also fancies her.
Fellow Aussie soap graduate Margot Robbie will also star in the movie, reports Deadline.
Although Peacocke has now finished filming his final scenes as Darryl 'Brax' Braxton, the actor recently said he will still be seen "for just about all of 2015".
Peacocke has starred as Brax in Home and Away for four years. His wife Bridgette Sneddon, who started playing Sophie Taylor last summer, is also leaving the soap.
I reckon Ricky will be a better character without Brax, there'll be more to explore with her, ie raising the baby without Brax etc, rather than her just being "Brax's girlfriend".
Home and Away's Brax will find his relationship with Ricky Sharpe seriously tested as his behaviour continues to spiral out of control.
Australian viewers have recently seen Brax (Steve Peacocke) accused of the murder of bad boy Dean, despite the fact that he wasn't responsible.
When Brax returns from the outback after failing to get Sam - the real killer - to confess to murder, Ricky is initially delighted to see Brax, hoping they can settle down and deal with the situation together.
However, as Brax is grilled over his whereabouts by new police officer Kat, Ricky's joy at having him home is short-lived as she hears the extent of Brax's erratic behaviour from a concerned Ash.
With Ricky more concerned about Brax than ever, it seems their problems could be about to get worse when Kat receives an envelope that contains recent CCTV footage.
The footage clearly shows that Brax had ventured out of town and breached his bail conditions, and Kat immediately heads over to the Braxtons' to confront him with the new evidence.
Feeling the pressure, Brax loses his temper with the policewoman and yells at her in a fit of rage, while a horrified Ricky watches on.
Brax's week then goes from bad to worse when he hears that his trial is set to begin in two weeks' time. Unable to consider a life back in prison, Brax decides that he needs to escape Summer Bay.
Although Ash tries to keep a devastated Ricky calm while he heads out to look for Brax, whether he can bring the River Boy back to the Bay in time for his trial remains to be seen.
Bonnie Sveen, who plays Ricky, said to TV Week: "Watching Brax lose control of the situation, she knows there is not a lot she can do to calm him. His reaction is everything she had hoped they had moved away from.
"He is kind of having to admit defeat which is the most un-like Brax thing ever. Ricky is really grateful that Ash has defended her and her unborn child, but he is the one who involved Brax in all of this in the first place."
Over on Home and Away, Kyle Braxton and Hannah Wilson face terrifying injuries in the aftermath of the upcoming bus crash.
As the bus lies overturned, silent and with no signs of life, a horrified Brax is the first person on the scene as he desperately searches for his pregnant girlfriend Ricky.
Although Ricky appears to have escaped unharmed, it soon becomes clear that Hannah (Cassie Howarth) is in a very bad way, having been impaled by one of the metal seats.
As Denny calls for Nate to help, he realises that Hannah has been impaled by part of the wreckage and is badly injured.

Home and Away's Brax will face the biggest decision of his life in an upcoming storyline, as he has to decide whether or not to plead guilty to a crime he didn't commit.
As his trial for Dean's murder approaches, Brax (Steve Peacocke) is given the opportunity to get away with a lighter sentence.
With all the evidence pointing at Brax, a jail sentence is becoming more of a possibility as the days go by. Therefore, when Brax's lawyer strikes a deal with the prosecution, he knows he has some serious thinking to do.
If Brax pleads guilty to the murder of Dean, the charge will be reduced to manslaughter and he will get an 8-year sentence. However, he pleads not guilty and is convicted anyway, he is looking at a 20-year stretch.
With his girlfriend Ricky and their unborn child weighing heavily on his mind, Brax starts to consider whether pleading guilty would be the best option after all.
Desperate to keep her family together, a devastated Ricky can't help but think that Brax is making the biggest mistake of his life.
Bonnie Sveen, who plays Ricky, said to TV Week: "Brax thinks this is all so unjust. He wonders why he should have to go down for a murder he didn't commit."
Over on Home and Away, Brax faces a challenging time when he is arrested on suspicion of murdering Dean.
As Brax (Steve Peacocke) is taken to the police station for questioning, a devastated Ricky (Bonnie Sveen) is desperate to clear his name.
When Brax is questioned by the new police officer Kat about what he was doing on the night that Dean was murdered, Brax tells her that he simply went for a walk but didn't have anything to do with the crime.

Also ahead on Summer Bay, Brax makes a big mistake when he heads back out to the country in order to extract a confession from barman Sam.
With Brax (Steve Peacocke) increasingly desperate to clear his name as he continues to be the prime suspect for Dean's murder, he and Ash both decide that they need to prove Sam's guilt.
However, with Brax on bail and policewoman Kat keen to keep tabs on him, Brax knows he is taking a big risk by breaching his conditions and escaping the area.
Although both Kyle and Ricky worry about the risks involved, the pair manage to head out of the Bay unseen and they soon arrive in the town where Sam lives.

Home and Away airs these scenes on Wednesday March 18 at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.
Home and Away's Brax will be thrown by an unexpected twist in court as he stands trial for Dean's murder.
The twist will come after Brax (Steve Peacocke) is given fresh hope by his lawyer, who believes he has found a way to finally prove his innocence.
Viewers know that Brax has been wrongly accused of killing the villain, and his lawyer will provide evidence that could point the finger at Sam, who is the real culprit.
As the trial begins, Brax and Ricky remain more desperate than ever to clear his name. With the only real hope resting on barman Sam coming forward and confessing, Brax is relieved when his lawyer manages to get hold of police and medical reports proving that Dean once assaulted Sam.
Brax knows that Sam's motivation for killing Dean was because of that attack, which subsequently put a stop on Sam's life ambition of becoming a pilot.
The evidence is enough to prove that Sam had a motive for killing Dean, and excites both Ricky and Brax as they start to contemplate Brax actually walking free.
However, with the trial already taking its toll on a pregnant Ricky, the family are thrown when there is an unexpected twist that could leave Brax's future looking very bleak.
Bonnie Sveen, who plays Ricky, told TV Week: "There isn't a lot of control in their hands at this stage.
"Ricky fears that him going back [to prison] could break him. He could turn self-destructive and violent like he was back then.
"The audience will know it has been a long journey for these two and how difficult it has been for Ricky to tame this lion. She helped him to see what he wanted, and that was to commit to his family."
Also ahead on Summer Bay, Brax has some tough decisions to make as he finally faces up to reality and contemplates a life in jail.
After agreeing to work alongside his partner Ricky (Bonnie Sveen) in order to tackle the case sensibly, Brax (Steve Peacocke) is left devastated after a meeting with his lawyer.
The lawyer explains to Ricky and Brax that the prosecution's case is watertight and as they have no evidence to prove that Brax didn't kill Dean, he is likely to be convicted and subsequently face 20 years in prison.
When his lawyer advises Brax to either accuse Ash in order to create reasonable doubt, or to plead guilty and receive a lighter sentence, Brax becomes angry and lashes out at him.
Later, Ricky advises Brax to consider pleading guilty if he wants to be around for their son while he is still a child. However, when Brax discusses the situation with Ash, he advises against it.
After much reflection, Brax realises that he has to do what is best for Ricky and his unborn son. With a heavy heart, Brax calls his lawyer and asks him to do a deal - he is going to plead guilty. Is Brax really willing to go to prison for a crime he didn't commit?
Home and Away airs these scenes on Wednesday, March 25 at 1.15pm and 6pm on Channel 5.
I just read on the Home and Away Facebook page with spoilers that Brax leaves the show because he has mental health issues?? Lol
I think whoever posted that has mental health issues LOL Was not somebody that is obsesses with Kate and Mark in Neighbours, was it?? :p
i think brax pleads guilty and goes to jail, don't even put up a fight for the sake of ricky and his unborn son
Home and Away will air a dramatic climax to Brax's prison story when he is presumed dead after a car accident.
The latest drama for Brax (Steve Peacocke) kicks off as he attempts to escape prison with the help of his friend Ash and brother Kyle.
Although the plan is for Ash to intercept the car that Brax is being transported to another prison in, it all goes drastically wrong when a truck starts chasing them.
The truck eventually runs the car off the road and into a river, where panic ensues. While the prison officer quickly emerges from the water, Brax is nowhere to be seen which prompts a desperate search to try and find him.
Kat and a team of officers scour the river for any sign of Brax to no avail and they are forced to accept that Brax is more than likely dead.
Kat is then given the difficult task of breaking the news to Ricky, who is already out of her mind with worry over Brax's risky escape plan.
With a heavy heart, Kat tells Ricky, Kyle and Billie about the accident, adding that they will probably never find Brax's body.
A heartbroken Ricky finds herself unable to process the news as she now has to comprehend a life without Brax altogether.
George Mason, who plays Ash, told TV Week: "Ricky is in shock and doesn't deal with the news at all. It has gone from bad to worse for them.
"First, Brax was serving a sentence for 20 years and now he is dead."
Brax's final scenes will be aired next week in Australia and later in the summer in the UK. :crying:
There goes my theory that it was Billie, Ash`s sister who was the real killer of Dean.
I bet Brax will appear in a few years when his Hollywood hunt for stardom comes to nowt.
