Michael Loney is a versatile Australian actor of film, television and theatre, who’s career has seen him travel the world.

His time in the UK included working on classic television shows like Robin Of Sherwood, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Howards Way, Sorry (with the legendary Ronnie Corbett from the 2 Ronnies) and a stint on the epic British Soap CORONATION STREET.

Since returning to his home in Perth, Western Australia, Michael has appeared in a multitude of films, television shows and theatre productions – as well as playing a significant role behind the scenes with his work as Vice Chair with the Artist Relief Fund WA - a registered charity that provides critical financial assistance to entertainment professionals - including actors, creatives and crew - who experience a crisis or emergency.

I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Michael Loney earlier this year for a chat.
