After putting in the hard yards on Home And Away, Stephen Peacocke is now at the forefront of Australia’s new golden age of television, with not one but four shows in the works at the moment.
Five Bedrooms, The Newsreader and RFDS all have new seasons in 2023, while crime drama Human Error is currently in production.
“It’s the dream for anyone, isn’t it? To be an actor who’s getting a bit of work,” laughs Stephen, who welcomed a daughter with his wife Bridgette Sneddon earlier this year. “It’s great. They’re all good, fun projects and I work with excellent people.”
The 41-year-old doesn’t take having several projects on the go as a given, knowing how tough the industry can be to not only break into, but to remain in too.
“I’ve never taken any job for granted,” he shares. “Everyone knows how hard it is to get work. It never gets old. I’ve never had a boring day.”
While grateful, Stephen admits some days are easier than others. “It’s always a bloody hard job,” he adds. “In many ways, it’s fun because it’s what I love, but everything’s challenging and I’m very nervous before I do any of it.”
