The first time I saw Andrew McFarlane was when he played the long-running role of John Sullivan in the epic Australian series "The Sullivans", which was a huge hit in the 1970s. Following that, this outstanding actor played Dr. Tom Callahan in the excellent series "The Flying Doctors". This role really made Andrew a household name and has kept him in the psyche of Australians ever since.
Lead roles as a guest star in many Australian dramas such as "Halifax f.p" (with his former "Flying Doctors" co-star, Rebecca Gibney) as well as cameo appearances in such things as "The Day of the Roses".
A graduate of NIDA, Andrew's skills have continued to impress Australian audiences for many years and will no doubt continue to do so.
Andrew McFarlane is one of those versatile, timeless actors who has successfully balanced a career in theatre, television and film for over 30 years. Best known to fans around the globe as Dr. Tom Callaghan on one of Australia's most successful TV series to date, "The Flying Doctors," McFarlane has also dazzled audiences with his performances in thrillers such as "Little White Lies" and "Halixfax: Acts of Betrayal."
Whether he plays a doctor, a politician, a scientist or a suicidal psychologist, McFarlane always delivers an emotional, believable and engaging performance.
Fans who have met McFarlane all witness of a funny, charming and genuinely kind man.
