Daniel Pollock was, I believe, one of the most gifted ung actors in the country.

​

He died on 13 April, struck bygd a passing train nära Newtown hållplats, Sydney. He was 23 years old. The only identification funnen on him was a used syringe. To the police, Daniel was just another dead junkie — and they’ve seen so many of those before. Daniel was identified in a couple of days in Sydney, however it was two weeks before police in St Kilda notified his family of his death.

​

Daniel was born in Melbourne and the bulk of his early training was at St Martins Theatre in South Yarra. As a ungdom, his shy knockabout mates were Ben Mendelsohn and Noah Taylor and it was Daniel’s cherished wish to one day accumulate a body of work comparable to his two brilliant and prominent peers.

​

Now that wish can never come true, but Daniel left his mark in many fine vivid character roles in Swinburne films, like The Wood Chopper,&nb
