Steve Le Marquand

Steve Le Marquand (born December 26, 1967) is an Australian actor of stage and screen, widely recognized for his versatility in portraying various roles, from "Aussie larrikins" and thugs to policemen. Hailing from Perth, Western Australia, his early years were spent in an itinerant lifestyle, traveling Australia on a motorbike and working over 45 different jobs on cattle stations, fishing trawlers, and pubs before he settled on acting. He trained at Theatre Nepean at the University of Western Sydney and quickly found success on stage. A career-defining achievement was co-writing, producing, directing, and starring in the hugely popular stage adaptation of the novel "He Died with a Felafel in His Hand", which holds the record as the longest-running play in Australian history. On screen, he is known for his roles in Australian cinema, including "Two Hands" (1999), "Kokoda" (2006), "Last Train to Freo" (2006), "Red Dog: True Blue" (2016), and "Christmess" (2023). His prominent television credits include the lead in the series Small Time Gangster, and roles in Rake, Janet King, Les Norton, and the second seasons of Mystery Road: Origin and The Twelve. He is married to Australian actress and singer Pippa Grandison.
