A Cast of Thousands

This is a list of some of the actors who have helped AfR since its inception, whether by performing, putting their names to campaigns, appearing at events, donating money to refugees, or helping us respond to requests from individuals and organisations for our input. While we have a small, core formal membership for administrative purposes, most of the actors named below are supporters of Actors for Refugees, with no official membership status. We encourage actors to speak from a personal perspective, to tell stories that give a human face to a group of people who have been unfairly cast as dangerous, alien, unwanted. We do not require actors to subscribe to any particular political agenda; rather, the one thing that unites AfR supporters is a desire to see refugees and asylum seekers treated with dignity and understanding.

Actors who have helped AfR so fa; from productions including Secret Life of Us, Marshall Law, MDA, Rove Live, Blue Heelers, Always Greener, Something in the Air, SeaChange, The Glass House, Neighbours, The Hard Word, Young Lions, The Dish, Fat Cow Motel, My Brother Jack, Halifax f.p., Kan Yama Kan, Love is a Four Letter Word, Chopper, Life Support, twenty four-seven, Short Cuts, Grass Roots, Jindabyne ...

There are many more actors on our database of supporters. We have named only those who have already become actively involved. We anticipate that the above list will grow as more of our supporters make their presence known beyond the safety of our database!!
