Actor Dieter Brummer, best known as Shane Parrish in Home & Away, has died.
Brummer starred as Shane Parrish on Home and Away for four years between 1992 -1996, becoming a teen sensation alongside co-star Melissa George. He was on magazine covers and bedrooms walls not just across Australia, but the UK and beyond.
I had the good fortune of being able to interview Brummer, he was one of the few actors to appear as the same character in multiple series of Underbelly. He portrayed Detective Constable Trevor Hakens, a corrupt NSW detective in both Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities and Underbelly: The Golden Mile. He was courteous and so generous with his time.
Andy Ryan, Head of Drama for Nine shared a message: “Everyone at Nine is deeply saddened by the news of Dieter’s passing. Even beyond his iconic role as Shane in Home and Away, Dieter was an outstanding and versatile talent. We were privileged to have him star in several Nine dramas, and he’ll always be remembered for his indelible performance as corrupt detective Trevor Haken in Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities and Underbelly: The Golden Mile. Our thoughts are with Dieter’s family and loved ones.”
