Scott Michaelson is an Australian retired actor and talent manager[1] who is most famous for playing Brad Willis in Neighbours.[2]
Career
Michaelson played the role of Brad Willis in Neighbours from 1991 to 1993, taking over from Benjamin Grant Mitchell (who had been a guest character for two episodes and later played Brad's cousin Cameron Hudson for over a year).[3] Brad Willis was notable for dating and eventually marrying the character of Beth Brennan, played by Natalie Imbruglia. The role was taken over once more when Brad returned in 2013, this time by Kip Gamblin.
For his portrayal of Brad, Michaelson was nominated for the Silver Logie for Most Popular Actor at the 1993 Logie Awards.[4] He also received a nomination for Hottest Man in Soap at the Inside Soap Awards, while 'Brad' was nominated for Best Male Character.
After starring in the series, Michaelson appeared on the New Zealand television series Shortland Street. He also had roles in Paradise Beach, The New Adventures of Flipper and Sabrina Down Under. He guest starred in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Young Hercules as Apollo.
After leaving acting, Michaelson became a talent manager, signing actresses such as Kimberley Davies and Nicola Charles. His most notable client was Holly Valance, who he helped land her role as Felicity Scully on Neighbours in 1999 and subsequently navigate her path towards a recording career. They became involved in a legal battle when Valance fired Michaelson in 2003, and a court ordered her to pay him $350,000 due to breach of contract.[5][6]
Michaelson is currently the CEO and co-founder of Smile Elite, a Sydney-based business specialising in real estate brand development.[7] He previously established Melbourne's first solarium tanning salon, and developed the cosmeceutical range, Indio,[8] which was awarded Skincare Brand of the Year in 2009.
