Whether playing Prime Ministers, scumbags, or the salt of the earth, Brian Sergent makes an invigorating screen presence. Aged 15, he debuted on TV's Close to Home. Sergent has gone on to memorable roles in movies The Shirt (as a psychotic junkie) and Eagle vs Shark, plus Outrageous Fortune's first two series. His gift for accents - and comedy - has also enlivened TV's Skitz, Pulp Comedy, and Public Eye, and many commercials.
By the neatly managed conclusion, Sergent, both as dramatist and actor, had pulled off a remarkable tour de force. He thoroughly deserved his standing ovation.
