On television he appeared in several television programs including "The Young Doctors", "Prisoner" and "Kings" in Australia prior to discovering the smell of the greasepaint and the roar of the crowd! In the UK Graeme focused on his theatre career but appeared briefly in an episode of the successful sitcom "The Brittas Empire" starring Christopher Barrie. In 1999 he retired from the industry to pursue more altruistic goals. Hide
