Baker's Delight

Depending on your age, Simon Baker is either that Aussie bloke from the TV show The Mentalist or, if you’re older, that sassy kid who played a young copper in the 90s soapie, E-Street. In reality Baker is one of our most successful and in-demand international actors. He has his own star on the Hollywood walk of fame and was once voted the sexiest man on television. Now he has come home to add “director” to his resumé. In a revealing interview with Allison Langdon, Baker explains that his first feature film is an enormous test of his skill, bringing author Tim Winton’s acclaimed novel Breath to the big screen.
