Cameron Nugent

As Craig Jelly...

At 18 Craig looks the way every teenage boy wants to look - tall, bronzed, muscled and good looking. Craig is a good time boy, enjoying the moment.

He's good at all things physical - swimming, surfing, football. On the academic front he is less spectacular - which is not of major concern to him or his parents as it is assumed Craig will end up in one of his father's businesses. For all intents and purposes Craig looks like turning into Bob Jelly Junior.

As Cameron Nugent...

Cameron started acting at the age of 12 when an uncle approached him to appear in a commercial for television news. The ad was aired and soon afterwards he was approached by an acting agency. Since then the jobs have followed.

Cameron played the character of the rough kid Tiger Gleeson in the popular ABC children's series, Round The Twist. A highlight for Cameron was a nomination for Best Actor in a TV Drama for his lead role in The Big Wish. Cameron was 14-years-old at the time.

Other film and television credits include: Hotel De Love, Shark Bay, Blue Heelers, Ratbag Hero, Black Rock and State Coroner. Cameron recently completed his final year of law, gaining an honours degree. He aims to do copywriting or publishing and continue acting as a hobby.

He also enjoys music and in his spare time plays with a band, Eleven Eleven. Like his character he enjoys sport and his main hobby is surfing. "Fortunately I share similar sporting interests with my character, so I did not need to undertake any special training." Cameron's only dislike was donning very brief bathers in keeping with his character Craig Jelly. "I am generally never seen in anything other than board shorts!"

Cameron describes the Jelly kids as 'trophy kids'."The Jelly family is the epitome of 'the perfect family' but it is shallow."

He describes Craig as a bit of a "Jock"- a sports head and naive about the bigger issues in life. "Through the series Craig develops and his character evolves."
