For four seasons, Nathan Fielder (pictured) played an alternative version of himself – a sincere yet outlandish management consultant – in Nathan for You, a quirky docuseries lampooning business-rehab reality shows. The Canadian went on to executive produce the similarly absurdist How To with John Wilson (watch On Demand) and now returns with The Rehearsal, a half-hour comedy series that promises: “In a world where nothing seems to ever work out as you had hoped… Fielder gives people the opportunity to rehearse for their own lives.” If it hews to form, the show will feature a mix of non-actors and performers delivering laughter and cringe in equal measure. As he tells documentarian Louis Theroux of his style: “Everyone’s attracted to the people with very strong opinions, but I think…

Torres Strait Islander Gorden Tallis played rugby league as tough as anyone, but exudes the inner calm of a man who’s comfortable with his place in the game and gratitude for those who have walked before him. Are you proud that rugby league is so inclusive? Rugby league is the game for everybody and lets players express who they are. The code is such a leader in its commitment to Indigenous welfare and communities. Some young players live in such remote communities without access to regular competition, but often find an avenue to play the sport and the best can still make it to the top. Did rugby league bring the community together when you were a kid? Yeah, definitely. Some communities don’t have a lot of opportunities, but they…

Former Australian of the Year and AFL legend Adam Goodes – who made headlines with his vocal stance against racism in the sport – views himself as more of a teacher than an activist and his story will be among those featured. “For me, it was always about doing the right thing and standing up for what I…

WESTWORLD (s4) Starts June 27, Mondays EXPRESS at 11am, ENCORE at 8.30pm and watch On Demand FOX SHOWCASE [112] I consider myself absolutely a character actor and that’s what I want as a career. I don’t need to be the lead star or any of that, as long as I’m doing stuff that I’m proud of, really… I just like to play complicated characters that are dealing with some sort of conflict… I always gravitate towards characters that are so opposite of me… I don’t even draw on my life experiences when I’m acting. I just try [to] make it feel like I’m living through that person’s skin. At the beginning of my career I was not great. Even at the beginning of Breaking Bad – I was okay, I got the job, but…

Queensland Firebirds star Donnell Wallam hopes her journey to professional netball will inspire other First Nations players to chase their dreams. At 28, the skilled goal shooter may have only made her Super Netball debut this year, but after blitzing the competition this season, she’s making every minute count. Having grown up in Harvey, Western Australia, Wallam moved to the UK to play the sport, before relocating back home to give Super Netball a crack. A late call-up to the Firebirds’ squad in January to replace Romelda Aiken-George – who is on maternity leave – opened the door and this strong Noongar woman hasn’t looked back. Wallam’s breakout season has been sublime and she’s now using her raised profile to inspire other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to pursue…
