Lee grew up on a farm in Kenya before moving to Australia when he was 7. [1] [2]
He graduated from the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in 1981. When he had initially applied, he was encouraged to gain practical life experience first, so he withdrew his application and moved to North Queensland where he drove road trains in Mount Isa, cut railway sleepers, and was a truck driver. Following that, he moved to Birmingham, England, where he worked in a steel factory, and with a local theatre company at night. When he eventually reapplied and was accepted at NIDA, Lee says he felt he had more clarity and was more resilient. [2]

Alan Falconer Kippax was a cricketer for New South Wales (NSW) and Australia. Regarded as one of the great stylists of Australian cricket during the era between the two World Wars, Kippax overcame a late start to Test cricket to become a regular in the Australian team between the 1928–29 and 1932–33 seasons. A middle-order batsman, he toured England twice, and at domestic level was a prolific scorer and a highly considered leader of NSW for eight years. To an extent, his Test figures did not correspond with his great success for NSW and he is best remembered for a performance in domestic cricket—a world record last wicket partnership, set during a Sheffield Shield match in 1928–29. His career was curtailed by the controversial Bodyline tactics employed by England on their 1932–33 tour of Australia; Kippax wrote a book denouncing the tactics after the series concluded.
