Jazer Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Also it looks like Les Hill (who played Blake Dean), will be on this drama series as well. So that makes it a total of four H&A cast members appearing in Underbelly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just always notice that in this part of the world that the same faces crop up on things produced in Australia. Irish actors are the same - the same faces appears in a lot of things.
