About Orlando's Character
Orlando plays Joe Byrne, Ned Kelly's right-hand man. Byrne was a good shot and fine horseman. He practiced riding down steep gullies for fun. He was also an experienced alluvial miner and could speak fluent Cantonese having grown up amongst the Chinese diggers, which came in handy during his numerous visits to their opium dens. Byrne was seen as one of the most glamorous gang members with his handsome colonial boy charm and his strong opposition to police law and order. He was reputed to have a number of girlfriends in the towns of the Kelly country, one of them being Mrs. Scott (Rachel Griffiths). Joe Byrne died at the age of 23 when he was struck by a bullet to the groin at the Glenrowan Inn.
