Shane Jacobson
Shane Jacobson is an Australian actor, writer, director and comedian.
Shane became a household name after playing the role of Kenny Smyth, a portaloo plumber, in Kenny. A film he wrote with his brother Clayton.
Shane was a performer from a young age, acting in amateur theatre shows. He tried his hand at stand-up and ended up with his own radio segment because someone tipped a Gold FM off about the funny voicemail messages he used to write and record for friends.
In this episode, Shane Jacobson talks about the lengths he went to, to promote Kenny, the decades it took him to be an overnight success, the bizarre privilege of being mates with his idol, Paul Hogan and why he knew he was a performer when he was in nappies.
