Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Richard Roxburgh. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Hawke, Review with Miles Barlow and Black Saturday documentary Inside the Firestorm lead the TV winners at the AFI Awards over the weekend.
Never mind the ratings, we rate the Aussie networks on what they brought to the table in 2010.

"Like many fine Australians, Rake was conceived on a beach about five years ago. Needless to say, as in many of those conceptions, we'd had a couple of cold ones," says Richard Roxburgh.
Most Australians, and indeed those from other countries who have seen his film roles are familiar with Richard Roxburgh. He has the happy knack of being able to take hold of a character and make them his own. In such Australian shows as "Halifax FP" and the mini-series "Tracks of Glory" with Cameron Daddo, Richard made a great impression on audiences.
More recently, he won critical acclaim for his role as former Australian Prime Minister, Bob Hawke, in the mini-series "Hawke" and, in November, 2010, will be taking the lead in the ABC legal comedy "Rake".
Richard is also known for his role as The Duke in "Moulin Rouge" and as Dracula in "Van Helsing". Given his talent, I am certain we shall see him in many more projects in the future.
Richard Roxburgh is one of those actors I'd seen around on Australian TV for a few years before it was realised how great an actor he actually is. He's been my favourite Sherlock Homes (TV), the crazy investor in Moulin Rouge, Dracula in Van Helsing and many many more fine roles. He is a truly great Aussie actor - up there with Geoffrey Rush.
