  Dingo, Ernie
Ernie Dingo is an Aboriginal Australian actor who has had an extensive career in film and television.
Dingo's background in traditional and contemporary Aboriginal culture have been important to his work in television because, as he points out, working as an Aboriginal actor frequently involves working also (usually informally) as a consultant, cultural mediator, co-writer and translator.
Dingo's first major screen roles were in film, in Tudawali (1985), Fringe Dwellers (1986) and State of Shock (1989) all of which had white script writers and directors but which dealt sympathetically with problems of racism and disadvantage encountered by Aboriginal people.

Dingos have received bad publicity in recent years as a result of the highly publicised Azaria Chamberlain disappearance and also because of Dingo attacks on Fraser Island in Queensland.

Brown is a "whitefella" torn between his duty as a policeman, and his connection to the land and community.
His counterpart (Ernie Dingo) is a "flfella" with the opposite problem--his aesthetics lie with the mainstream culture, but his heart forces him to stand by aboriginal customs.
One comment: DVD is not captioned and the complex story can be a bit hard to follow--there were places I had to back up and watch twice to understand the Aboriginal side of the story.
