Alan David Lee (born 1955 or 1956 [1] ) is an Australian actor.
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]
Lee's television and film credits include Prisoner , Special Squad , The Cowra Breakout , Murder Call , All Saints , Water Rats , Blue Heelers , McLeod's Daughters and H2O: Just Add Water .
Lee has performed as Hamlet at the Q Theatre; as Jack and Harry Tuesday in the Queensland Theatre Company's Man from Mukinupin ; as Chris in Gale Edwards's production of Arthur Miller's All My Sons for Sydney Theatre Company; and as Tom in Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie .
