Actor Dan gets mobile
An Australian Idol contestant has taken up temporary residence in
Ramsay St, but may stay a lot longer
08apr05
DESPITE having no acting experience, former Idol Dan O'Conner has
landed a part on Neighbours.
The singer from Sydney was as shocked as anyone when he was offered
the guest part on the soap, which could become permanent.
He had his first day on the set this week, after two auditions to
get the role.
"I think I went all right," O'Conner said.
"I was really packing it.
"I came on set and I didn't know anyone; only knew the cast by their
characters and was sort of thrust into it, but that's the best way
to do it.
"They were all fantastic, all great people."
O'Conner will play the brother of Blair McDonough's character.
As well as Neighbours, O'Conner is filming a mobile phone soap opera
with Tatiana Grigorieva, fellow Idol Marty Worral and Home and
Away's Emily Perry.
The six-week project involves thousands of still photographs being
taken in character, which will then be packaged up with dialogue and
be sent to the phones of subscribers.
It's a modern-day comic strip.
The mobile phone soap is called Random Place.
Looking back on Australian Idol, O'Conner said he felt the
experience had been positive.
He also had some kind words for Casey Donovan.
"I haven't really heard that much about what's going on," O'Conner
said.
"I just know that Anthony (Callea) is getting a lot more attention
then Casey, which is pretty sad.
"She is incredibly talented, as is Anthony. It's just a bit sad."
