Just over 10 years since one of Australia's most famous ads first aired on TV, Kadek Mahardika, the actor who played the hunky Balinese waiter Ketut in the AAMI Insurance ads, reveals to Woman's Day that he's ready to make a major return to the spotlight and has his eyes on one of the country's biggest shows, Home And Away!
"One hundred per cent, I would jump at the opportunity," says the 39-year-old.
"I think Australia is ready to see Ketut in Summer Bay." His wife Laura Jack is equally excited.
"Let's get him on there, Australia! I want to meet Alf Stewart," she laughs.
Ketut's bid comes after his former co-star Mandy McElhinney announced her role on the soap, and Kadek already has some plot lines in mind. "Imagine Ketut reuniting with Rhonda on the beach? I could serve her a beer!? Or we could already have kids, and they could be having surf lessons," he enthuses.
Kadek, who says he still hasn't given up his lifelong dream of acting, admits that securing consistent work has been challenging, but in the meantime he wouldn't be opposed to trying his hand on reality TV.
