      He is in an Australian film called "The Big Steal" made in 1990. Its a comedy and he is a good guy in it.He plays a slightly awkward teenager in high school trying to win the affections of the beautiful, popular girl .
      In fact, he mainly played good guy roles until "Animal Kingdom" in 2010. That film got him noticed in Hollywood . But just before tht he had a rough patch where he couldnt get roles for some time. Its great to see him succeeding and getting more widely known now .
