Episode 161 - Vernon Wells

We talk to Vernon Wells - Australian actor known for playing iconic 80s movie villain roles in Mad Max 2, Commando, Innerspace and Weird Science. Vernon shares his ever unpredicatable journey from growing up on his grandfather's farm with dreams of rock n roll before a totally unplanned left turn into the movie industry. He would embrace over the top roles such as the mohawked biker warrior Wez alongside Mel Gibson's Mad Max before heading to Hollywood to go toe to toe with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando and steal the show in the role of the maniacal Bennett. During our chat, Vernon is incredibly humble and shows endless love and thanks to his family, co-stars and directors who helped him along the way as he continues to work even harder in the industry to this very day.This episode is brought to you by our friends Dead Skull Coffee.https://deadskullcoffee.co.uk/discount/STVPlease visit The Straight To Video Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow this show. https://www.patreon.com/stvpod Special thanks to Affinity Photo - The hottest photo editing software on iPad, Mac & PChttps://affinity.serif.com/photoIntro Music by Johnny Monacohttps://www.johnnymonaco.com Incidental Music by Night Fires Please visit The 80s Video Shop Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow our very own 80s Video Shop. https://www.patreon.com/80sVideoShop
