Bryan Brown

But I'd watch it again.

Some of the conversations between Brian Brown's character and Tom Cruise were fantastic.

But it's yet a stupid movie.

Spirit thought for Jean-Anne.

experience in the world you've ever had, Dirk, going to see the gorillas in Rwanda?

Well, Dwayne, I saw the movie Gorillas in the Mist with Brian Brown and Sigourney Weaver, and that actually gave me the inspiration of going.

And you just talking about it made me go back and looking at all the photos of what I did in seeing the gorillas, and you're going to have a great time, and I can't wait to hear you talk about it once you come back.

And I can tell you, you're going to have a great time.

Brian, lacking a college degree, finds himself bartending to make ends meet while attending business school.

His life takes a turn when he meets Doug Coughlin, played by Bryan Brown, a seasoned bartender who becomes his mentor.

Together, they create a spectacle behind the bar, juggling bottles and performing tricks that captivate their audience.

The film attempts to explore themes of ambition, materialism, and love, but it often falls short of delivering a compelling narrative.

And Jeremy Norton becomes fascinated with this.

And so he ends up finding this kind of... kind of like Morgan Freeman in Shawshank Redemption, a guy who can get things, played by a really great Australian actor named Brian Brown.

I don't know if you know who that is.

Brian Brown.

Yeah.

That's what he looks like.

Yeah, from FX and Cocktail.

Okay, I never saw either of those movies.

His dad, Lyle, was played by Travis Fimmel, mother, Frankie, by Phoebe Tompkin, and granddad, Robert, by Simon Baker.

There were smaller but just as memorable roles for Brian Brown.

I think he's a babysitter.

Anthony LaPaglia is a drug dealer.

You might know her from The Death and Life of Otto Bloom or Lessons from the Grave.

She's the daughter of acting icons, Brian Brown and Rachel Ward.

But more than that, she's a force of nature and a force for nature.

Refreshingly, Matilda isn't just another celebrity with a wellness venture slapped together for the gram.

I remember seeing in my career, just people, there's just celebrities coming in.

So I think the very first celebrity I ever saw was back in 91, was actually Brian Brown at Ravisi's in Bondi.

There was this thing of celebrity and actors and musicians that would be threaded through the restaurants that I had worked in.

But to date, I would say some of the most interesting people, it would be my family.

Yeah.

Yeah, too young and have very complicated feelings about Brian Brown.

Not
