From his professional debut at the age of 14 in Fred Schepisi's AFI award-winning feature film THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND (1975), award-winning actor Jeremy Kewley has gone on to enjoy a solid and diverse career in the entertainment industry.

One of only a handful of Australian television ‘audience warm-up comedians’, Kewley has been a vital part of dozens of classic shows from YOUNG TALENT TIME and CANDID CAMERA ON AUSTRALIA to AUSTRALIA’S BRAINIEST KID, 1 VS 100, TEMPTATION, THE MARNGROOK FOOTY SHOW, and DIFFERENCE OF OPINION on ABC1.

As a dramatic actor on Australian television, he’s played lead roles in a number of series, from teen-heartthrob Robbie Stewart in Network Ten’s ill-fated soapie ARCADE (1979-1980), through to the critically acclaimed ABC-TV drama series JANUS (1994-1995) where he played Crown Prosecutor Vic Manoulis (1995 Logie Award Winner for Best Actor and Best Drama).

He went on to play Snr Sgt Bryan Gray on STINGERS (2000-2004) for five years, and for over nine years played semi-regular local journalist Tony Timms in BLUE HEELERS (1997-2005).
