John Meillon, OBE (/ˈmiːlɒn/ MEE-lon; 1 May 1934 – 10 August 1989) was an iconic Australian character actor, known for many straight as well as comedy roles, he became most widely known internationally however as Walter Reilly in the films "Crocodile" Dundee and "Crocodile" Dundee II. He also voiced Victoria Bitter beer adverts.
Meillon was born in Mosman, New South Wales. His younger brother was director Bob Meillon (1943–2012).
He began his acting career at the age of eleven in the ABC's radio serial "Stumpy", and made his first stage appearance the following year. He joined the Shakespeare Touring Company when he was sixteen. Like many actors of his generation from 1959 to 1965 he worked in England, but while working in in Britain he consciously steered away from Australian roles. Meillon claimed that he learnt discipline while working in theatre and that television was not a good a medium for training.
He had a recurring role in the TV series My Name's McGooley, What's Yours?. He featured in two episodes of Skippy in 1968 and 1969 appearing as "Nimble Norris". In 1976, he won the AACTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his role of 'Casey' in the film The Fourth Wish (1976).

But he's about to face the ultimate torture test - a trip to New York City.
Made by The Commonwealth Film Unit 1969. Directed by Donald Murray. Narrated by John Meillon. A survey of everyday life throughout Australia, emphasising the outdoor and rural element contrasted with modern, urban living and culture. A look at the Australian people, their character, attitudes and way of life. Every three years or so Film Australia made a general film on Australia. At its most basic the film would have a landscape sequence, then a farming sequence, then transport, then cities, then sport and night life. It would probably contain a mining explosion, a ballet class, Uluru (Ayers Rock) and kookaburras.

Linda Kozlowski Hogan took center stage in 1986 when she starred in the hit movie, Crocodile Dundee, which went on to encourage the release of a sequel in 1988. Both movies were led by Australian action man, Paul Hogan, who Linda Kozlowski married in 1990. Tragically, the sparkle of being a Hollywood couple both in front of the cameras and behind the cameras is over as Linda has filed for divorce. Fifty-five-year-old Kozlowski cited irreconcilable differences when she filed for divorce in Los Angeles from 74-year-old Paul Hogan. While there is no indication of infidelity in the marriage, it has been reported that the nineteen year age gap may have played a role in the split. Both parties are handling the divorce amicably.Paul Hogan's manager, Douglas Urbanski, recently spoke with the Dail...

This light-hearted, marvellously enjoyable family drama stars Harry Secombe as a Welsh schoolteacher and choirmaster who emigrates to Australia to 'teach in the sun' -- but finds reality falls somewhat short of the blissful image on the recruiting poster. Filmed in central New South Wales, directed by TV comedy stalwart James Gilbert and co-starring multi-award-winning Australian actor John Meillon and veteran British character player Derek Nimmo, among others, Sunstruck is presented in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. - See more at: http://networkonair.com/shop/1972-sunstruck-5027626417543.html#sthash.IYDUHqdT.dpuf
