# Quote 1 As long as the director told me where to stand, and what to say, I was happy. Anyone who says there is more to it [acting] than that is full of bullshit. It's a job.

# Fact 1 Was a member of the Australian Olympic Swimming Squad as a teen, and held the world hundred-yards freestyle record during a heat of the Victorian Swimming Titles - for ten minutes. He was beaten by 1/10 second courtesy of John Devitt in the following heat. 2 Ava Gardner encouraged the young swimmer to tout for work as an extra in On the Beach (1959) during a chance encounter. It was doing just this that Hunter became interested in acting, after watching Fred Astaire supposedly go through 32 takes to complete a simple scene.3 Filmed Muriel's Wedding (1994) and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) at the same time, each requiring him to have different length hair, beard and to be in different parts of Australia. 4 1996: Awarded Honorary Membership of the Australian Cinematographer's Society. 5 1995: Received a Variety Club Award for Services to the Film Industry. 6 1994: Named Australian Movie Star of the Year. 7 1996: Went bankrupt.
