Australian acting legend Bill Hunter has passed away overnight. Most of you would know him from Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Muriel's Wedding or as the voice of the dentist in Finding Nemo. He's been in plenty of films over the years here though and at one point seemed to be in every Aussie film that came out.

My favorite role of his is still Len McQuire in Newsfront. A fantastic film of a changing time.

My thoughts exactly. What a brilliant performance and a true Aussie film.
