George Pullar (l) and Ethan Panizz in ‘Playing for Keeps’ (Photo: Network 10).
For a guy who fell into acting after he badly injured one leg at high school in Brisbane, George Pullar is carving out an impressive career.
Now 22, Pullar made his screen debuts in Goalpost Pictures’ Fighting Season and Seven Studios’ A Place to Call Home straight after graduating from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (Waapa).
Following that he played a star Afl recruit in Screentime’s Playing For Keeps, which Network 10 has renewed for next year.
Capping a memorable year, he was named among the Casting Guild of Australia’s 10 Rising Stars, together with Michael Sheasby, Harry Greenwood, Tess Haubrich, Markella Kavenagh, George Zhao, Milly Alcock, Kimie Tsukakoshi, Harvey Zielinski and Alexandra Jensen.

Last week’s episode of Downton Abbey was hardly all cotton candy and giggle fits, but the show hummed along with more energy than it had all season prior. There was a horse race! Mary became the star of her own Salon Selectives commercial! Things were, possibly, maybe, starting to look up!Well, that was then. And this is now: In this week’s Downton Abbey, things are back to the usual plodding plotting punctuated by sad dog deaths — oh, Isis! — and narrative developments that don’t quite make sense. (Read: everything that’s happening with Edith right now.) These situations are either taking a blatant turn for the worse, or they're hinting at the possibility of hard times ahead. Isobel’s having second thoughts about marrying Lord Merton because at least one of his sons, Larry Grey, is, as previously established in season three, a total dickhead. (Actual description...

Prince Will-who? Kate Middle-what? The Crawleys threw the wedding of the millenium on the long-awaited season premiere. Tears were shed. Shade was thrown.
Oh, Downton Abbey, how we’ve missed you. The show’s Jan. 6 season premiere brought back the entire Crawley clan — along with a super-sassy Shirley MacLaine as Cora’s mother — for a wedding event full of tears, drama, and of course, bitchy old-world asides from Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess. (“An aristocrat without servants is as useful to the county as a glass hammer.”)
Unfortunately, the splendor of Downton is being threatened in season three, as a serious of bad investments by Robert (Hugh Bonneville) has basically cost everyone their fortunes. This just reinforces what I’ve always believed about Robert: He’s the absolute worst. Edith (Laura Carmichael) clearly inherited all of his genes.
Ok, let’s check in with what the rest of the...

Banged up Bates in Downton Abbey. co. ITV
B Van Heusen
British TV’s most expensive soap opera returned to ITV on Sunday night and it’s apparent that the winds of change are blowing through Downton Abbey. The central characters have aged amazingly well since we’re now in the 1920s but while their faces look the same their attitudes (for the most part) have changed.
Matthew Crawley and his nagging Mom are eagerly embracing the notion of a classless society while Branson and Sybil are proving that religion, politics, social standing and nationality are no obstacles to 20th century love. Nevertheless, the old guard of Lord Grantham and Carson are doing their best to keep everyone firmly rooted in the 19th century. Grantham mopes around his Pentagon sized house wondering if poor investment decisions will cause him to lose a butler or two while poor old Carson is...
