Perth, Australia is the proud home of the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, which is part of the Edith Cowan University. One of the reasons it is so prestigious is that it has been the launching pad for many of Australia’s actors and television broadcasters. It as even been the educational base from some of the world’s most famous performers. Hugh Jackman is just one of the major actors to spring from this academy. Guests staying at one of the best Perth boutique hotels may hope to find this dashing Aussie roaming the streets, though unfortunately for them he has moved on from these early days of learning and study.

Jackman was born in Sydney in October of 1968. He was the youngest of five children born to his English parents. He was the second to be born in Australia, though he still has a strong English heritage, of course. He began acting early in life and performed in his all boys middle school production of My Fair Lady. He is both a theatre and film actor, and has had a successful career in both fields. While many film actors begin on the stage, they don’t return after achieving any form of success in television or film. There are also those film actors who prefer theatre and act on the stage as often as possible. And while allusive, it is certainly a more profitable career choice to focus on television or film. Jackman began his stage career in Melbourne, where he played Gaston in a production of Beauty and the Beast, as well as Joe Gillis in Sunset Boulevard. He is most famous for his film work however, and unparticular for his role as the Wolverine in X-Men. This film also starred Halle Berry, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart.
