A forgotten (though vital!) addition to this 'least favourite actor' list of mine is, I'm sad to report, yet another compatriot...HUGH JACKMAN...ugh! I know probably the rest of the world loved him in 'Australia' but I thought he was very badly cast as "the drover"...not my image or experience of an Aussie country male at all!! Wolverine, yes. Drover, no. What say you?!

I agree, Nuytsia! I laugh myself silly when watching an Aussie classic like 'The Castle' or 'Crocodile Dundee' but, at the same time, wonder how the rest of the world can possibly appreciate the gags. Still, I am often glad to discover that they do!
