Neighbours Revealed
The Talent of Ramsay Street
Saturday 14 July 2007 on BBC-1

David Walliams looks at the multi-talented actors and actresses that have appeared in the show, as we join Alan Fletcher ( Karl Kennedy 1994- ) and Ben Nicholas ( Scott 'Stingray' Timmins 2004-2007 ) perform at a concert. Kym Valentine ( Libby Kennedy 1994-2003,2004,2007- ) pays a visit to the...

Damien’s favourite song is Kiss the girl from the movie Little Mermaid. (edit) Damien’s favourite bands and singers include Muse, Grinspoon, U2, Foo fighters and Coldplay. (edit) Damien lists his favourite super hero as Batman. (edit) Damien’s favourite cartoon was The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. (edit) Damien follows the AFL and barracks for Collingwood. (edit)

Damien: (his acting aspirations) Well, I consider everything. I just love all sorts of aspects of acting: television, theatre, films... everything is like an open book, who knows where the future will take me? I certainly don't want to cut off anywhere that I don't want to do, because everything you do helps to make you better. I remember some of my school musicals that I did were some of the most fun I've ever had, getting to know people. Certainly working on any other show has been a good grounding for me, becoming the actor that I have. I'd love to do more television, comedies, drama, genre films, anything. If it's good work, then I think anything's really exciting. So who knows?! (edit) Damien: (asked if he’ll release a single like other members of the “Neighbours” cast) Well this is always exciting. This is one thing I've always wanted to do. I am a very good singer, and I have an album on the way, coming to you... no I'm JUST KIDDING! I can't sing at all. I'm not interested in releasing an album, and I'm not interested in releasing a single, and if I do, you can replay this footage and I will... laugh awkwardly. No, I'm not interested in doing that sort of thing. I think we have enough people who are doing that. There will be stars to come who will still be doing that, and we have had so many in the past. Certainly, what I want to do in my career is not really that! (edit) Damien: (on the members of the “Neighbours“ cast he gets on best with) I would certainly have to say Ben Nicholas because that guy is a legend. Every scene I have to do with that charmer... he just makes me laugh. He's just a very, very funny bloke, and it's great working with someone as talented as Ben. And of course it's great to have a brother as well, we're always wrestling, fighting; we have a lot of fun. Marisa Warrington is also a beautiful, beautiful girl, she's a champion. I never had that many scenes with her, but she was always very kind and caring. (edit) Damien: (on kissing scenes) All you really have to say is that it's like kissing a very close friend. In front of 50 people. Filming it! So it's not very intimate. And of course when you're working with friends, it very comfortable. The first kiss is a bit hard, but after you break that barrier, it's like, "we're all friends here." It's for a show, and it's seen by the rest of the world! It's not very intimate. (edit) Damien: (on working with Ben Nicholas on “Neighbours”) As soon as Ben and I got together in my call back audition, it really went well. When I tell people I play Stingray's brother, they go, "wow!" Really, what could be better than playing Ben Nicholas' bro?" (edit)
