Early life
Alongside his actor brothers Bernard Curry and Stephen Curry, Curry attended acting classes at the Toorak Players (now known as Track Youth Theatre) in the Melbourne suburb of Glen Iris in the 1980s. Following their time there, they secured agents.[1]
He got his start, appearing in a television commercial for Wedgewood Pies, alongside his brothers. After appearing in several more advertisements, they all began picking up small television roles. Early in his career, he formed a three-piece band with his brothers, called Nev's Vindalooo, referencing their father.[2]
Career
One of Curry's most notable roles was the recurring character of Larry 'Woody' Woodhouse, Stephanie Scully’s (Carla Bonner) ex-boyfriend in Neighbours, who he played from 2000 to 2002.[3] In September 2010, it was announced that Curry would be reprising his role as Woody in Neighbours.[4]
Curry played Kelvin in the 2012 series Conspiracy 365, and had a recurring guest role as Shaun Graves in Something in the Air in 2000. He was a film reviewer / co-host on the Foxtel show Premiere in 2002,[5] and appeared alongside his brothers on 2002 ABC sketch show, Flipside.[6]
He has also had numerous guest roles in television series including Snowy River: The McGregor Saga, State Coroner, Blue Heelers, The Secret Life of Us, Welcher & Welcher, Stingers, Let Loose Live, City Homicide, Satisfaction, Rush, Killing Time, Offspring and The Doctor Blake Mysteries.
Curry's film credits include Point of No Return (1996), Road to Nhill (1997), made-for-tv movie Witch Hunt (1999), The Inside Story (2001), The Merchant of Fairness (2002, BoyTown (2006), The Cup (2011) alongside brother Stephen, Submerge (2013) and A Boy Called Sailboat (2018).
In 2007 he founded iCandy Productions with business partner Cameron Nugent, and has made numerous short films, music videos and corporate presentations. In 2010 he was awarded funding to produce a short film, Spider Walk through Film Victoria's 'Propellor Shorts' funding scheme.
Numerous producer roles have since followed, with 2017 marking the completion of his debut feature film, A Boy Called Sailboat, written and directed by Cameron Nugent. From 2017 to 2018 he spent time in Montana, USA, as a producer on the period feature film Robert the Bruce. 2018 saw him tour the live soundtrack performance of the feature film A Boy Called Sailboat with the Grigoryan Brothers around Australia.
Curry is also skilled at editing, graphic effects and music composition.
Personal life
Curry has been married to wife Kate[2] since 2002 and has a son and a daughter. He is the older brother of actors Stephen Curry and Bernard Curry, who have also made a significant number of appearances on Australian television.[7]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Curry, together with his brothers, created a rendition of The Beatles’ "Here Comes the Sun" for Melburnians emerging from lockdown. They recruited several high-profile actor friends to collaborate, including Sam Neill, Shane Jacobson, Jane Hall, Susie Porter, Andy Lee, Hugh Sheridan, Bryan Brown and Kate Jenkinson.[8]
