Tony Ward "ham v kangaroo" Croc Dundee

Tony Ward, television personality, 1924-2006
"Tony Ward was Australian television's original action star and an inaugural reporter on two national current affairs programs. Crawford Productions, planning a new James Bond-style action series, chose him in 1967 for his good looks and air of savoir faire for the title role of Hunter. He made appearances in Sons and Daughters and played a villain in an episode of Skippy - which he described as "ham v kangaroo". One of his achievements was the discovery of Paul Hogan - in a report about the riggers on the Sydney Harbour Bridge - leading to Hogan's appointment as resident comedian on A Current Affair."
