**Julie** Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Luke makes acting his game Herald Sun August 18 2009 He found his acting roots while living in Melbourne - now Home and Away's latest hottie is set to take on the world. Acting was not in the game plan for Luke Mitchell, 24, who wanted to play professional tennis. But after deciding to go with his "gut feeling" after stumbling into an acting class, Mitchell packed his bags on the Gold Coast and moved to Prahran and immediately aced a plum role on Neighbours. "When I told my mum I was going to Melbourne to act, she said I was either going to end up on the streets, or rich and famous," Mitchell said. And the acting jobs keep rolling in for Mitchell, who is Summer Bay's latest ladies' man - aptly called Romeo. A single Mitchell said he didn't have Romeo's confidence with the women. "I have an inner cheekiness, but I am not a confident guy hitting on girls all the time," he said. Mitchell said he wanted to hone his acting skills on the soap before trying his luck overseas. "But I couldn't be happier where I am at right now," he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lise Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thanks for the article, Julie. I didn't know he was on Neighbours. His character on Home and Away sounds like he could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
