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: Steve Bolton, a Department of the Interior agent, has given young "Bronc" Masters a lease to 50,000 acres of range land. Several months later "Bronc" discovers a strange notice on the land, warning off trespassers. He thinks that Steve has leased the same land twice, grabs a gun and heads for town, although his level-headed girl friend, Ann Bradford, attempts to stop him. Steve pacifies him, and they both ride out to the range and discover a gang of men, led by "Spud" Henry, rounding up the wild horses. Henry produces a paper, similar to the one Steve gave "Bronc" and signed by the Secretary of the Interior, and Steve, knowing the paper is a forgery, slaps an injunction on the land, forbidding any horses to be rounded up until the matter is cleared. Henry has had a cleaver counterfeiter forge the signature and knows he will be found out, so he orders his men to rustle the horses and run them to the railroad siding for shipment. But the Durango Kid takes a hand.

Was niemand weiß: Unter dem Pseudonym George Stark verdient er ein Vermögen als Horror-Schriftsteller. Die Romane triefen nur so vor Blut und finden reißenden Absatz. Sein literarisches Doppelleben findet ein jähes Ende, als ein Erpresser droht, Beaumont auffliegen zu lassen. Thad beschließt, sein Alter Ego symbolisch zu Grabe zu tragen und sich nur noch auf die ernsthafte Literatur zu konzentrieren. Als kurz darauf in seiner Umgebung einige Morde verübt werden, wird für ihn ein dunkler Verdacht immer mehr zur Gewissheit: Stark hat sich selbständig gemacht - und benutzt Thad für seine Rachepläne...

FILM DESCRIPTION: Marking the first collaboration between horror legends George A. Romero and Stephen King since 1982's Creepshow, this moody, atmospheric adaptation of King's novel was actually completed in 1991, but the highly-publicized bankruptcy of its distributor Orion Pictures in that same year nearly doomed The Dark Half to distribution limbo. King's story revolves around successful author Thad Beaumont (Timothy Hutton), whose popularity on the college circuit owes a great deal to the financial success of a se...

She recently moved into her $1.8 million, two-level Sydney apartment. And Jessica Mauboy, 27, gushed about finally moving in with her partner of nine years Themeli Magripilis, telling The Australian Women's Weekly this week that their cohabitation comes as a relief after having done long-distance for so long. ‘… We’re finally living under the same roof, waking up with each other every night when we come home,' she said. Despite her incredible feat, the Secret Daughter star told the Daily Telegraph that the industry is still 'a bit behind' when it comes to recognition of Indigenous Australians. 'We are all so different but I think we are a bit behind with that kind of recognition and I hope there is more diversity of music given broader acknowledgment,' she said. She went on to add that...

Show me another revolution
I know there must be a better resolution
And all the children at war with good intentions
For all the reasons inside that no one mentions
Go on, go on
Let the radio lie
Go on, go on
Together this world is hung overs winging upside down
And it seems to be hanging over me right now
This world is hung over swinging upside down
I think I've had enough by now
I think I've had enough by now
Let's take another peice of heaven
Along with the all the king's soldiers in the kingdom
And send them raging far off in to the distance
And oh, we will hope for a future of existence
Go on, go on
Let the radio lie
Go on, go on
Together this world is hung over
Swinging upside down (world is hung over swinging upside down)
And it seems to be hanging over me right now
This world is hung over swinging upside down
I think I've had enough by now
I think I've had enough by now
I think I've had enough by now (3x)
