Luke's "mad scientist" hair-do made him ideally cast as the gifted physics student "Blake", whose hero is the great historical figure Sir Isaac Newton. Luke also brought with him the talents of being an accomplished swordsman & choreographer, which would have been particularly useful if only there had been a sword fight in the film.
Luke's star is on the rise as he played the lead role in the recently released feature film "Broken Hill", which co-starred Timothy Hutton & Alexa Vega. Critics have compared Luke to a young Heath Ledger, a sober Mel Gibson, & a likeable Russell Crowe. After graduating from the renowned West Australian Academy of Performing Arts, he has appeared in various TV shows such as "McLeod's Daughters", "The Strip", as a creepy stalker in "Rescue-Special Ops", & as a pig in "Rush" (-I mean policeman).
Luke was always good-natured on set, even when dragged on a bed, injected with a hypodermic syringe, flung off a cabinet, & made to hang from a first-floor balcony. The graduation scene in the film was his idea, which may give us a bit of an insight into some of his sexual fantasies!
