Tom Burlinson (born 14 February 1956) is a Canadian-born Australian actor and singer His English parents had migrated to Canada after World War II. The family transferred to New Jersey in 1958, and Tom was the typical all-American youngster with the Little League baseball cap, striped T-shirt and turned-up jeans. In 1962 the family transferred to England with the father's job and young Tom went to school with a North American accent. In 1965, just before Tom turned 10, the family transferred again, this time to Australia. After six months his parents divorced and his mother and two younger sisters went back to England, leaving him with dad and his older sister. After graduating from NIDA in 1976, he appeared in several television shows before landing the title role in the big-budget movie, The Man from Snowy River (1982). Since then he has always put in fine performances, deviding his career between Australia and United States, on stage often performing his Frank Sinatra tribute show. He has been married to singer-dancer Mandy Carnie since 1996 and they have three children.
