Russell Crowe is from New Zealand. He isn't Australian. H1354e likes to think he is, but he is just another big ego who doesn't deserve his recognition.
By the way, Sam Worthingotn - born in England. And as over-rated as Crowe.

Hugo Weaving was born in Nigeria and Peter Finch was born in England but we still claim them and they consider themselves Australian.

I LOVE Sam Neill. He's a Kiwi, but born in Ireland.

Most people of a certain age in the early 60s were considered for Bond. Some of them were not even actors!

I didn't learn that Taylor was Australian until he mentioned it in an interview while promoting the Eighties TV series "Outlaws".

and Aussie actor Andrew Clarke (Matt McGregor in 'The Man From Snowy River' TV series, known in the US as 'Snowy River, the McGregor Saga) was wanted as 'The Saint' replacing Roger Moore. IMDB don't list it, but I thought he did one episode in Hollywood.

I'm 99% sure he did do a "Saint" telemovie/series, and it might be my imagination, but I'm pretty sure I saw it at the time. I thought Andrew Clarke was gorgeous and a competent actor.I don't know why he didn't have more overseas' success. Maybe he didn't want to pursue it.
Edited to add: You piqued my interest and I found this

In Erol Flynn's time Merle Oberon was an up and coming actress and she came from a questionable background. Mother was from India I believe and father unknown Caucasian, in other words born on the wrong side of the blanket. Erol Flyn was from Tasmania and someone told her to say she was from Tasmania as well thinking that nobody would question it coming from a remote part of the world. Got that tit bit from David Niven.
