Umina actor cast as TV lead
Umina resident Remy Brand, 22, has been cast as lead Sam Fox in the live action series, Sam Fox: Extreme Adventures.
The series which commenced production this month will be seen on Network Ten and Cartoon Network and is a series of 26 programs each of 24 minutes for eight to 12-year-olds.
Sam Fox: Extreme Adventures is the first major acting role for Remy who has had a television commercial career spanning the last several years and a guest role on Seven Network's Home and Away.
Remy first began his acting career in 2005.
As well as appearing in Sony, Freddo Frog, Kellogg's Coco Pops, Hungry Jacks, The Greater, Capri Sun and Qantas television commercials, Remy was the hero in the Butter Menthol campaign in 2010.
In 2011, he landed the guest role of Dan in Home and Away.
Based on the action adventure books by children's author Justin D'Ath, Sam Fox: Extreme Adventures is an action-packed comedy adventure series about teenage "danger magnet" Sam Fox as he braves the wilds from open ocean to deepest jungle, coming face to face with killer sharks, man eating leopards, raging tornadoes, erupting volcanoes, deadly scorpions, giant anacondas and more.
The series will be filmed at the South Australian Film Corporation's brand new Adelaide Studios as well as on location in South Australia.
The series from SLR Productions was green-lit for production last year following investment from Network Ten, ZDF Enterprises, Screen Australia, South Australian Film Corporation and KOJO.
ZDF Enterprises will distribute the series internationally.
