Television
My most recent television project was ‘Santo Sam and Ed’s Cup Fever’. For World Cup South Africa 2010, I travelled to South Africa with cameraman (and creator of this website) Cam Fink, to record one minute segments for this SBS comedy show. Many went to air, but some didn’t, such was the amount of quality material being generated here in Melbourne. Here are some of our pieces, the screened and the unscreened ...

On the Move
In Tony’s first week with Dimensions - On the Move his car was stolen. His story on honest insurance claims was put on hold when the police found it one-week later; therefore he did a story on tractors.
In 1998 Tony quit his career in law to participate in the second series of Race Around the World. His short documentaries ranged from prisoners in Bolivia; to Indian laughing clubs. His stories won him 1st prize. The last two years have seen Tony co-host a travel show on 3RRR; write features for The Age newspaper, and present on Law Matters –ABCTV.
On the Move will see Tony, roaming Australia, searching out stories about the colourful characters that inhabit the world of motoring.

Other TV Work
I have been on television enough to get listed on the IMDB database, which also has Jack Nicholson, although I’m not sure Jack gets such a kick out of self-searching as I do. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0934242/
My break into television occurred in 1998 as part of the second series of Race Around the World. As part of my travels, I visited Bolivia, Idaho, Alaska, Italy, Lebanon, France, Israel, Kenya, India and China. Each of the eight Racers travelled solo, and in each country had to find, film and edit a four-minute mini-documentary. My subjects ranged from a ten-day advertising stint performing as a cockroach in a Kenyan travelling roadshow, to a Lebanese wheat farmer who couldn’t shoot pigs that were eating his crops because his land was only 800 metres from the Israeli border. If he pulled out a rifle, he risked being mistaken for a Hizballah rebel.
In recent times, I’ve presented stories for Fairfax Online and have been a regular member of the Brains Trust on ABC TV’s quiz show, ‘The Einstein Factor’.
Offsiders - 2007
I appeared on The Offsiders during the AFC Asian Cup. 10.30am Sundays in July.
The Ashes - 2006/2007
I presented an internet Ashes preview show called ‘The Third Umpire’ that features Dean Jones.
