 Paul Hogan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Australian actor Paul Hogan was mellow-voiced and rugged enough to succeed as an action hero, but he loved making people laugh, something he'd been doing on a professional basis since his debut as a blindfolded, tap dancing knife thrower on the Aussie TV amateur contest New Faces.
With his manager John Cornell as director, Hogan took a big chunk of his TV earnings and produced an amiable culture-clash comedy, Crocodile Dundee (Hogan and Cornell owned 65 percent of the picture, the rest going to the circle of friends who'd invested in the project).
Those later Paul Hogan vehicles failed to match the popularity of Crocodile Dundee; even the very carefully contrived sequel Crocodile Dundee 2 was a box-office dud.
