He’s played one of Australian television’s most lovable characters for over 20 years, but Ian Smith will next appear in Nine’s Underbelly series.
Universally recognised as ‘Harold Bishop” from Neighbours, Smith will appear as politician Ken Wallace in the third instalment of Nine’s gangland series.
He joins a number of actors from both Neighbours and Home and Away to have a role in the series including Les Hill, Dieter Brummer, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Peter O’Brien, Kevin Harrington, Madeleine West, Jessica Tovey, Danielle Carter, Steve Bastoni, Mark Furze and Kate Ritchie.
Smith will appear in 2 episdes of the third series, due after Easter.
Ian smith is a very underrated actor because he was in Neighbours but when he had to do a dramatic scene he was quite good.
Excellent! I wonder if he’ll share a few scenes with Natalie Bassingthwaighte and then we’ll have Harold and Izzy back together again!
Does this mean he’s gonna get a s3x scene?
My money says we’ll see a scene with “harold” surrounded by 3-4 topless ladies jiggling about.
It seems a bit like when the Bill started hiring Eastenders actors doesn’t it??
Oh God why????
I guess the talent pool in this country must be running dry.
From what I’ve seen of his work……it’s not that good (to put it mildly).
Underbelly gets to show Australian soap “talent”.
