Colin Friels (born 25 September 1952) is a Scottish-born Australian actor.
Friels was born in Kilwinning, Ayrshire, Scotland. His mother was a mill worker and his father a joiner. He lived in Kilbirnie until 1963, when his family moved to Australia, arriving in Darwin, Northern Territory before settling in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton. He worked as a bricklayer's labourer before studying at the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), and graduated from there in 1976, with actors such as Linden Wilkinson and Michael Siberry.
Friels career began with work mostly in theatre and television. In 1980 Friels was a presenter on the long-running children's series Play School. His first film role was in the unreleased Prisoners (1981), starring with Tatum O'Neal. The film was allegedly so bad that Tatum's father Ryan O'Neal purchased the rights to the film to prevent it from ever screening. His first actual appearance in film was in Monkey Grip (1982), an adaptation of a novel by Helen Garner, where he starred alongside Noni Hazlehurst.

Plot: Bookish Jen Frazier seems an unlikely choice to be a freedom fighter, but when a theocratic new order occupies the state of Texas, Jen is pushed into action carrying contraband for the underground. In the backroom of a closed antique shop Goldman, the proprietor, charges Jen with the task of delivering a mysterious package to an unnamed underground. But the religious police led by Sgt. Streetman raid the shop. Jen escapes capture, but the police seize Goldman, and beat him to death for resisting arrest. In spite of the danger Jen decides to deliver the package. At the appointed hour, Jen arrives to deliver the package to her contact. When the contact appears, the secret agents of the church subdue him. Jen avoids capture only because the occupants of a mysterious white van snatch her off the street. Against her will, Jen is drawn into the underground network of interfaith freedom fighters led by Jessie, the Liberator. Deep under the city streets, Jen meets the core of "witnesses" led by Jessie, and begins to grasp the full extent of the resistance forming against the theocratic order represented by Sgt. Streetman. Jen strikes a bargain with Jessie to insure the package is delivered into the hands of its intended recipients. In so doing, Jen makes the ultimate sacrifice and the contents of the mysterious package are revealed to the audience.
