No but this might give it away. In the comedy series he was the well off selfish dentist in the family leaving his younger brother as carer for mum.

Your right Terriwa Henri Szeps from the comedy series "Mother and Son" I take it you don't have a pic Terriwa so perhaps someone else who may be watching would like to have a go and post a pic.

Henri Szeps OAM, (born 2 October 1943, Lausanne, Switzerland) alternatively Henry Szeps, is an Australian character actor of theatre and television. He has also featured in films and worked in voice roles, and has worked in productions in the United Kingdom.

Early life

Szeps was born in Lausanne, Switzerland. Due to the German invasion of Poland, his parents fled to France. His father left the family to join the French Resistance, and his mother and three-year-old sister made their way to a refugee camp in Lausanne, where Henri was born. He spent a lot of time with foster families, and later at a French orphanage, before coming to Australia at the age of eight with his mother and sister.

Career

Szeps studied acting at Ensemble Theatre during weekends, under the direction of Hayes Gordon, while gaining science and electrical engineering degrees at Sydney University. In 1963, while sitting for the B.Sc. in maths and physics during the day he was appearing every night at the Ensemble Theatre in his first play there, called The Physicists, which ran for six months.

Szeps is probably best known for his role as selfish dentist Robert Beare in the classic Australian television comedy series Mother and Son (1984 to 1994), with Garry McDonald, Ruth Cracknell and Judy Morris. Another prominent role was in Palace of Dreams for which he received a Penguin Award. He played the Doctor in the world premičre of David Williamson's play, Travelling North, and was asked to repeat the performance in the 1987 film, with Leo McKern & Graham Kennedy.

He appeared in 1981 TV movie A Step in the Right Direction.

Szeps won the Penguin Award for best actor for ABC's 10 part series Palace of Dreams.

He has performed in five one-man shows, produced by the Ensemble Theatre, the last three self-penned: The Double Bass (1990), Sky (1992) (written for him by John Misto, I'm Not a Dentist (1997), Why Kids (2003) and Wish I'd Said That (2010).

He has written a book on acting, All in Good Timing (1996), which is used by drama schools.

 Henri was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, brought up in Paris, and migrated to Australia at the age of 8. He gained degrees in science and electrical engineering at the University of Sydney while studying acting at the Ensemble Theatre. He had a successful theatre and TV career for four years in Australia before going to the UK in 1971.

You've got him terriwa over to you for a pic.

Costa Georgiadis, often referred to by the mononym Costa, (born 1 January 1964) is an Australian landscape architect and television presenter. He is a second generation Australian of Greek descent.[1]

Biography

Georgiadis was born in Sydney and grew up in North Bondi on the same street as his grandparents and uncle. He is the youngest of three children. His father, Stan, was an electrician.[2]

Georgiadis' grandparents fostered his early interest in gardening.[2] He worked as a landscaper whilst studying landscape architecture at University of New South Wales[3], where he developed an interest in sustainability.[4]

From 2009 to 2011, he presented SBS's Costa's Garden Odyssey, a programme that explored the relationship between gardening, sustainability, and spirituality.[5]

On 20 December 2011 the ABC announced that Georgiadis would replace Peter Cundall as the host of Gardening Australia, with his first show airing on 24 March 2012.[4]

In 2014, Georgiadis starred as 'Costa the Garden Gnome' in Get Grubby TV on ABC Kids.
