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: Fuzzy-Wuzzy is an aborigine, hunting kangaroos while riding an ostrich. He spots one, working out on a punching bag; after a bit of to and fro, he lands in the roo's pouch. The animal isn't too bright, and tries to evict the hunter with a stick of dynamite, which turns the kangaroo into a lot of tiny roos; they jump into the pouch and reassemble. The kangaroo pulls up the ostrich's head, which was buried in the sand; he cuts it off, and it becomes a firehose in his face. The hunter crosses a stream on his ostrich, which is eaten by a crocodile (a bit of violence, and the ostrich is freed). Finally, a flurry of boomerangs is repulsed by the kangaroo and they shave off Fuzzy Wuzzy's hair; after the hunter suggests the kangaroo "pick on someone his own size" they start shrinking, until they are the size of bugs and the ostrich eats both of them.

Plot: The audience enters Porky's movie theater, with a collection of quick gags: A firefly acting as usher, a kangaroo taking tickets and putting the stubs in her pouch, a chicken buying child tickets for her eggs. A skunk tries to buy a ticket, costing a nickel, but he only has one scent. He looks for a way to sneak in. Meanwhile, Porky introduces the show: a collection of cartoons, drawn as stick figures.

Porky's cartoons include: Circus Parade, Choo-Choo Train, Soldiers (Marchin), Horse Race, and Dances (hula, Mexican hat, and ballet). All accompanied by a self-parody musical score.

Assisted by Frank, and the remote control tinker toys he once used to pick up milk from the corner shop, Malcolm lays his plans to pull off the heist of the century.... Accompanie...
I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide anything
I saw you breathing, oh
I saw you staring out in space
I next saw you
You was at the party
Thought you was a queen
Oh so flirty
I came against
Didn't say excuse
Knew what I was doing
We looked very fine
'Cause we were leaving
Like Saint Joan
Doing a cool jerk
Oh, I want you
