John Wood (born 14 July 1946 in Melbourne) is a Gold Logie Award-winning Australian actor and writer, best known for his role as Senior Sergeant Tom Croydon in the Seven Network's long running police drama Blue Heelers.
Wood began his acting career in 1967, where he had a guest role in Bellbird, an Australian television series. He then appeared in several Australian drama series and mini-series in minor roles. John also wrote eleven episodes of the series Prisoner. It wasn't until 1987 that John Wood became a well-known actor, taking the lead in Rafferty's Rules, as magistrate Michael Rafferty. Wood twice won a Logie for "Most Outstanding Actor" for his role in the show during its four seasons.
In 1993 Wood landed a leading role in Blue Heelers as Tom Croydon. This show became a big hit in Australia. As well as starring in the show, he also wrote several episodes. The show was finally cancelled in 2006, and Wood is one of only two actors (the other being Julie Nihill) to star in Blue Heelers from its beginning in 1993 to its end in 2006, although Wood is the only character to be seen in every single episode. Wood also wrote three episodes for the series.

Genres: Short, Western,John Wood was a rising executive with Microsoft when he took a vacation that changed his life. What started as a trekking holiday in Nepal, back in 1998, became a spiritual journey and later a mission to change the world one book and one child at a time, by setting up libraries in the developing world. He ditched his career and went in pursuit of what was then a vague vision of the change he hoped to bring about for the 800 million people in the developing world who lack basic literacy.
John Wood made the drive from Washington DC to Chapel Hill just in time to close TEDxUNC 2014. His talk on #GSD energized the audience to go out into the world and be bold. "It's not about you, it's about the team! Try not to say I, but we! Be a cheerleader and rally the troops." In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulatio...

Blue Heelers star John Wood finally wins the Gold Logie at the 2006 TV Week Logie Awards. * I originally had this uploaded on my old YouTube account years ago. The quality on this is absolutely rubbish. It was captured from the Channel Nine website in the week after the 2006 Logies using the free version of FRAPS. It is watermarked with the FRAPS watermark and is in incredibly low quality. Sadly, unless another person has that year's Logies recorded and can upload this from their own copy, this is all I've got. *

This is me playing John Cannan in Crimes That Shook Britain Series 6 Episode 6 Suzy Lamplugh Disappearance and Murder. Estate agent, Suzy Lamplugh, disappeared in July 1986 after going to meet a client at a house in Fulham. Witnesses said they saw her arguing with a man near the address and then getting into a car. She has never been seen since. For almost thirty years police have followed many lines of enquiry – one being to identify who ‘Mr Kipper’ is that she went to meet. So far they have reached a dead end. In 1994 she was officially declared dead, presumed murdered. The strongest theory to date is that convicted rapist and killer, John Cannan, killed Lamplugh. But as yet, this hasn’t been proven. John David Guise Cannan (born 20 February 1954)[1] is a British murderer and rapist. A...
In June 2007, the Australian government took the unprecedented step of suspending its Race Relations Act to introduce the Intervention - a series of draconian, federal-backed laws designed to control the flow of alcohol and pornography into 'prescribed communities' in the Northern Territory. It was a reactionary response to endemic alcoholism and supposedly endemic child abuse in these communities, though there is little data to support the latter accusation. Featuring interviews with prominent Aboriginal leaders, Pat Turner, niece of 'Australia'a Mandela,' Charlie Perkins, Pat Dodson, spearhead of the reconciliation movement, actor/artist David Gulpilil and Jenny Macklin, Minister of Indigenous Affairs, This is Our Country Too puts the world's focus on Australia's indigenous people's for...

Professor John Wood 'Some Criteria For Mapping Consciousness In Living Buildings' 30 March 2016 Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne By regarding buildings as inanimate, we accept them as fundamentally dissipative. This is because the passive idea of ‘conserving’ building reflects the pessimistic logic of classical thermodynamics. In discussing ways to re-direct the current Building Information Modeling (BIM) agenda, John draws upon theories of living systems furnished by Maturana & Varela and Jakob von Uexküll. He asks whether BIM could be developed to make future buildings come to life? By contrast, the life sciences depict living creatures as systems that maintain their collective survival by resisting entropy. The reason why thermostats and clocks are the dumbest ga...

I'm dirty as a man hole cover
I'm lookin for my long lost lover
She turned me out and now I'm sinkin'
I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin'
I'm talking with a tight red sweater
I'm feelin' like Eddie Vedder
Only twice as cool when she starts winkin'
I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin'
I'm loyal as a dog but I'm a hog for that sexual attraction
It starts up in my mind and makes a bee line below the belt
No consequences just satisfaction
Baby in my heart I'm faithful
This two headed monster is so distasteful
Forgive me when my instincts start stinkin'
I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin'
I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin'
Think about it...
Forgive me if my instincts start stinkin'
I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin'
