Bobby Morley
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP

Boby Morley, born on December 20, 1984, in Kyneton, Victoria, Australia, is an Australian-Filipino actor, best known for his role as Drew Curtis on the Australian drama series "Home and Away."

Morley went to school in Kneyton, a small country town in Victoria where he did drama all the way through to Year 11, until he was kicked out! "I was a bit of a brat," he says with a grin. "I’d turn up to class and not have done the homework, but I’d perform and I’d get away with it. I was drama captain of the senior school but I was probably the worst academic student in drama department, so they didn’t really want me to be an example to other students."

After graduating from high school, Morley did half a year of geological engineering before deciding to get back into acting and pursue it as a professional career. He started a degree in Creative Arts at La Trobe University in Melbourne, secured himself an agent and started doing extra classes.

Prior to Home and Away, Morley had several roles on the stage (Falling to Perfect, Tale From Vienna Woods), in short films (The Couple) and features (Dead Harvest), until a part in the new Australian play Angels with Dirty Faces bought about a meeting with Home and Away’s casting agents, and the chance to audition for Drew arose.

The easy-going actor is the youngest of four kids, with two sisters and one brother. He has his mother to thank for his dark curly hair and deep brown eyes – she’s from the Philippines.

Outside of acting, Bobby loves the challenge of rock-climbing, dabbles at playing guitar and loves catching a soccer or footy match – he follows the Collingwood magpies.

"I’ve watched his first few eps and he’s got something very special," commented script producer Daniel Bennett a few weeks after Bobby started filming. "We’ve been plotting him for six months now and there isn’t a week that goes by that he doesn’t have a lot to do. The audience will be very invested in him – we certainly are."
