Bruno Lawrence

Bruno Lawrence

Bruno Lawrence (February 12 1941 – June 10 1995, Wellington, New Zealand) was a New Zealand musician and actor, born David Charles Lawrence in Worthing, West Sussex, England. His family migrated to New Zealand in 1946, settling in New Plymouth before moving to Wellington in 1948. He spent most of his life in New Zealand and also worked extensively in Australia. Bruno was a renowned jazz drummer, playing drums in many bands, including Blerta, and The Crocodiles. He also acted in many movies, including "Goodbye Pork Pie" (1981), "Smash Palace" (1981), "The Quiet Earth" (1985) , at the time the highest-grossing New Zealand film, and "Bridge to Nowhere" (1986).

His last role was as devious, golf-loving TV producer Brian Thompson in the 1990s Australian satirical television series "Frontline". In 1995 during the filming of "Così", which was scheduled to be his next role, Lawrence was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and died the same year.

A biography "Bruno: The Bruno Lawrence Story" by Roger Booth, and television documentary "Numero Bruno" directed by Steve La Hood cover his life and work.
