Anthony was in the Australian Army from 1982 to 1985 where his roles included being in the infantry and also being a piper. He was part of the 5/7 Royal Australian Regiment and has served briefly in Germany doing border patrol.
When he turned 40, Anthony got two tattoo designs on his shoulders. He has a heart and the names of his wife Miki and his daughter Lucia on his right shoulder, and the Virgin of Guadalupe on the left shoulder. After the birth of his second and third child, he updated his tattoos with their names as well.
Anthony: (the famous fan he's been most excited to meet) The most amazing star we met was Robert De Niro. He was really gentle and sat very intently watching us perform. At the same show was Jerry Seinfeld, who was such a down-to-earth guy. He said, 'I watch you guys all the time,' and I said, 'We watch you all the time!'
Anthony(how they choose children to appear on Wiggles shows): We have been filming videos for 15 years and so at first we used family. I am from a family of seven children with 20 grandchildren, so my brothers' and sisters' children have grown up on the videos. It's always best to use children who know each other and are comfortable in the TV environment. So it's largely been family and friends over the years!
Anthony(on working with the late Steve Irwin): Steve was such a fun guy to work with. We filmed Wiggly Safari up at Australia Zoo. He would wake up at about 3am and go surfing in Caloundra, and then come back to work at his zoo and start filming with us - he had so much energy! We filmed with his wife, Terri, and their daughter, Bindi, who were fantastic. He was always the same, full of life and so positive. We all miss him so much, but I know the wonderful conservation work he did will be continued by his family.
