  Bill Hunter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hunter was involved in hockey, football, baseball, softball and curling but he is best known for founding the Western Hockey League, being a key player in the upstart World Hockey Association and for his efforts to bring professional hockey to previously overlooked Western Canadian cities, especially in Edmonton and (unsuccessfully) in Saskatoon.
Hunter's efforts would not prove completely fruitless, however as the city eventually built a major new arena, Saskatchewan Place in 1988, although many Saskatonians felt the location chosen for the facility was inferior to the site Hunter had proposed for his centre.
Hunter died of cancer in Edmonton on December 16, 2002.

 Archibald Prize
I approached a young female singer and then several other women but when schedules didn’t work out I was going to abandon the idea of painting a portrait for this year’s Archibald.’ It was a discussion with an actor friend of Benjamin’s which led him to Bill Hunter.

Bill Hunter is one of the great stalwarts of Australian film and television since the 1970s.

Hunter appeared to tolerate the clamour rather than enjoy it, but he was happy to give the work, and the artist, his seal of approval.
Hunter said he felt relaxed working with Benjamin, although he admitted he did not find it easy to look at the painting.

 'Kangaroo' doesn't know jack about comedy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The title critter of Jerry Bruckheimer's witless comedy, "Kangaroo Jack," is an animatronic/computer-generated marsupial that's being chased all over the Australian Outback by two moronic Americans.
The kangaroo is devoid of charm, as are the actors, who have the chemistry of fingernails on a flboard.Yet, there's an enjoyably silly dream sequence with the kangaroo doing a rap, and welcome appearances by Christopher Walken and Aussie character actor Bill Hunter.
But the stunts are lame, director David McNally displays no gift for the comic chase, Bruckheimer's usual overproduction spotlights its lack of spark and the film tries to outdo the "Scooby Doo" flatulence contest.
