Rob Sitch - Australian actor, writer, director and bloody legend whose CV includes satirical TV shows Frontline and Hollow Men, as well as one of that country's best loved films, The Castle. Working Dog Productions is the name of his hugely successful production company, but Rob is still best known for playing idiot TV presenter Mike Moore in the Nineties hit series Frontline, that also featured Kiwi star Bruno Lawrence. In Rob's latest series Utopia, he plays Tony, head of the fictional Nation Building Authority that's responsible for overseeing major infrastructure projects, despite the best efforts of the Prime Minister and his cronies. With Working Dog based in locked-down Melbourne, you'd think Rob would be easy to pin down for an interview. But he and his colleagues are flat out, including working on the popular current affairs game show they created, Have You Been Paying Attention, Lynn Freeman asks Rob Sitch if he feels an added responsibility to make people laugh in these uncertain times. Both Utopia and Frontline are playing on Netflix.
