Steve Le Marquand
as The Tall Thug
Steve has worked on everything from Hollywood thrillers to co-op theatre, but every director who has worked with him will have a story to tell. His role as ‘the Tall Thug’ in Last Train to Freo is his first leading role in a feature film. Since graduating from Theatre Nepean, Steve has appeared as a fierce thug in Nash Edgerton’s Bloodlock, a WWII digger in Kokoda, a clumsy, shotty-loving bank robber in Gregor Jordan’s Two Hands, a larrikin Aussie climber in the Hollywood blockbuster Vertical Limit and a nut-bag beachcomber in Lost Things.
He has been seen on stage in The Spook, Buried Child and Waiting For Godot for Company B Belvoir; Holy Day for the STC and Songket and Borderlines – The Return for Griffin. Steve also co-wrote, produced, directed and starred in the hugely successful theatre production He Died With A Felafel In His Hand, which ran for several years in most capital cities around Australia.
His TV credits include All Saints, Farscape, Crash Palace, Young Lions, South Pacific, Blue Heelers, Wildside, G.P, Murder Call, Big Sky, Water Rats, Home and Away and Police Rescue.
Steve takes his cricket and rugby league very seriously. Greg and Jeremy watch the boxing at his house.
