Sarah asks: Hiya, I was just wondering where you get your make-up crew from? What is the highest/best school to take , im in love with your show and would love to have the chance to work with these amazing actors.

Hi there.

The makeup department consists of a makeup designer, their key assist and two full time team members. Teams are put together based on their skills and the needs of the show.

It’s great that you have a passion for the industry. Training is essential. The best training in Auckland is at The Makeup School which recently opened on Ponsonby Rd. Hair skills are always a bonus, so you could also look into a hairdressing course as well. To get into the industry you have to start with the basics and work your way up.

Westside asks Antony: Do you dress like Van, Jethro or neither in real life?

More like a cross between Kylie Minogue and the Dali Lama.

Tim asks Antony: Hi, You are an awesome actor and I really enjoy your work on Outrageous Fortune. I’m from the US (North Carolina). My question is are you getting any offers/feelers for any work in Hollywood? I can’t believe a talent like you, with so many local (NZ) awards hasn’t been discovered by the entertainment industry in the US. I think you could be a big-time movie star/TV star over here in the US. I would hate to see you leave OF though. Keep up the great work.

When the time is right, I will move to wherever the work is.

If that’s LA, so be it. New Zealand is a good place to be for now.

Ant.

Alana,

I’m an Ausiwi: a hybrid. I love both countries and would never make a choice between them. I’m a lot like Wolf in many ways, but I think I play with others a bit better.
