What happened to......??

I never watched Saved By the Bell, but...
The Dark Side of Comedy the other night was about 'Screech'/Dustin Diamond. It's an understatement to say that he had his ups and downs later in life, then he died of cancer last year at 44.

It had Elizabeth Berkley in it who went on to start in show girls ...

Susanna is still around and has been posting on TikTok. She is a fiction writer as well now. And as beautiful as she was back then!

I remember The Bangles - I really liked them, just never knew their individual names.

There's threads on Big Footy for Celebrity Lookalikes (like Jamie Presley and Margot Robbie) and for AFL players who look like famous people (such as Brett Heady and King Charles III), but this is hardly a new phenomena.

Back in the early 1980s two young Australian actors commenced their careers who looked like brothers separated at birth - Peter Mochrie from Sydney and Dean Nottle from Melbourne. Both tall and slim with dark hair, swarthy complexions and handsome, somewhat brooding features the two actors had close to identical speaking voices too.

Peter Mochrie and Dean Nottle appeared in many TV shows of different genres - soap operas, medical dramas, historical dramas, police/crime/legal dramas, sci-fi & fantasy shows, kids shows and sitcoms - plus Australian movies playing a wide variety of characters. Thanks to major roles in police shows Water Rats and Murder Call in the mid-late 1990s Peter Mochrie would achieve greater fame than his lookalike, however in another interesting coincidence both he and Dean Nottle would be in TV shows in which they played characters who seemed like really nice guys but turned out to be the hidden villains towards the end.

Now aged in his mid 60s Peter Mochrie has had only limited acting roles in recent years but keeps very busy behind the scenes as a producer, presenter, public speaking coach, teaching acting and as a real estate auctioneer in Sydney. But as for lookalike Dean Nottle, he has had no credited roles after 'All Saints' in 2001 and nothing at all to say what became of him 23 years later or whether he is still alive today. I couldn't even find an online image of him for comparison to Peter Mochrie. I wonder what became of forgotten Australian actor Dean Nottle?

I remember Peter Mochrie in the very early 80s as Channel 10 were repeating THE RESTLESS YEARS mid-morning during school holidays. He also appeared in a Palmolive Gold TV ad around that time (where he hops into bed and his partner tells him he needs a shower. He does so using said soap and she is up for fun afterwards).

A few years later - and this does not appear on his IMDb credits - he was in a PSA thing that aired on SBS or ABC in which he was a sporty young man, with a girlfriend, who happened to enjoy sex with his mate at the soccer club. After one fling he becomes worried about AIDS and visits a clinic and they discuss the dangers of such sex with him.

In 2000 Home and Away gained five new characters when the Sutherland family moved to Summer Bay, these being the father Rhys (Michael Beckley), mother Shelley (Paula Forrest) and their three teenage daughters who were Dani (played by Tammin Sursok) and her younger twin sisters Kirsty (Christie Hayes) and Jade (Kate Garven).

While Tammin Sursok was one of a number of H & A alumni who achieved great success overseas and Christie Hayes is still in the entertainment industry (mainly in radio although has had more recent acting roles), third Sutherland sister Kate Garven has faded into obscurity with her last credited acting role Sea Patrol in 2007. Amazingly she married at the age of just 18 in 2004 (and according to Wikipedia still married), and I wonder what she is doing nowadays?

I sometimes feel like every town in Australia might shake out an ex-Home & Away actor.

Sadly, not good

Currency Press is in Sydney and Nick Parsons is the son of the original owners of Currency Press and Victoria Chance, Dean's wife, worked for Currency Press.

It is with the deepest sadness that Currency acknowledges the passing of Dean Nottle.
My first encounter with Dean was as an actor in the mid-1980s. My wife Jo was then a student at the Australian Film and Television School (as it was then) and Dean was a recent NIDA graduate who appeared in a short film she was working on. He was a talented, likeable and charismatic actor who went on to play an eclectic range of parts in film, television and on stage, working with directors such as Rex Cramphorn, Lindy Davies and George Miller.
Dean also developed a parallel career as a drama editor, graduating from the NIDA playwriting course in 1995 and going on to work with over a hundred writers. It was in this capacity that Dean began his work for Currency Press, a role he fulfilled until 2021, when a progressive and incurable illness that he contracted in the late 1990s finally forced him to retire.
Dean will be remembered for his sensitive and meticulous work as an actor, editor and proofreader, but also for his courage and his grace in the face of mortality over so many years. He was quite simply a wonderful person, much loved, who will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family and in particular his wife and Currency’s former Publisher and Business Manager, Victoria Chance (both pictured).
