Paul O'Brien has a fan base in 56 territories around the world from his 4 years on "HOME AND AWAY, where he played the loveable cop Jack Holden. The 'Jack and Martha' onscreen couple were said to be the most popular couple in 20 years of the show. Since then he went on to appear on "UNDERBELLY, NEIGHBOURS, but avoided many roles as he wanted to reinvent himself and not be typecast as the 'pin-up boy' or the 'nice cop'. In these years, he created other roles for himself and pursued a film career. He is known as 'the chameleon' amongst his acting colleagues; people would not recognize him in different roles he would play. He recently played a bearded ex-assassin in the feature film MESSAGE MAN, which was filmed in Indonesia and is currently in post production. He was able to flex his knife and fighting skills as he battles to save a family from pirates and a wealthy businessman who has put a bounty on his head. Paul played his first American speaking role as a superhero, which is under wraps and which he cannot divulge any information about. JACK & FRANKI: ACT 1 is an exciting project for Paul as many people are unaware of his comic timing. Further, the character of Jack is said to amplify the goofy, wacky and vulnerable side of Paul O'Brien.
