John Brumpton: Sydney – 63
Even in his 60s, John Brumpton never turns down an offer to work. The performer who made his debut in 1989’s ‘The Flying Doctors’ prides himself in accumulating 95 acting credits since then.
Before he joined the entertainment industry, Brumpton was a surveyor and later a professional boxer. Moved by Bryan Brown’s performance in ‘Stir,’ Brumpton decided that was the impact he wanted to have on others, making the switch to acting. In a world where everyone is trying to put up a show for the sake of social media likes, the ‘Red Hill’ star says that being himself has been the secret to his longevity in the film world.
