For a Scottish-born actor who grew up in New Zealand, Erik Thomson has had a dream run on Aussie TV. From his early days in cult shows like Hercules and Pacific Drive, Erik became one of our favourite leading men. Fans wept when he died in All Saints, but he was soon back on screens playing Australia's favourite Dad in Packed To The Rafters. He's filmed in the Outback for The Alice, and gone back to NZ for 800 Words. Now he is entering a new phase of his career doing comedy where he plays dodgy blokes who are the opposite of Dave Rafter.
