The cast of Crocodile Dundee 30 years later

It’s been 30 years since Paul Hogan first rocked an Akubra and wielded a knife as the ocker Mick in Crocodile Dundee.

The actor has now swapped the knife for an AACTA as he was honoured for the namesake character and his contribution to the Australian film industry, as the recipient of the Longford Lyell Award.

But what have the rest of the cast been doing since the summer of '86? Be takes a look at the stars of Crocodile Dundee, then and now.

Paul Hogan - Mick 'Crocodile’ Dundee

The role of the rugged bushman changed Paul Hogan’s life forever.

But after a few, erm, interesting career moves – he turned down Ghost in the ‘80s – he ended up signing on for the sub-par Crocodile Dundee sequel, followed by the inevitably worse third film, Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles in 2001.

Paul went on to wed his Crocodile Dundee co-star Linda Kozlowski in 1990, after divorcing his wife-of-23-years Noelene Edwards. The pair, who split after 23 years citing “irreconcilable differences”, share 18-year-old son, Chance Hogan together.

The actor emerged from semi-retirement in 2009 to star alongside Shane Jacobson in the Australian comedy film Charlie & Boots.

Linda Kozlowski – Sue Charlton

Linda played Mick's love interest, Sue Charlton, in Crocodile Dundee, before getting hitched to her co-star in 1990.

But non-Crocodile Dundee-related movie roles were not easy to come by for the actress, who went on to act in what she later referred to as "straight-to-video schlocky" flicks.

Linda, now 58, spends her time travelling between her home in LA and her tourist business in Marrakesh.

She told New Idea at the time that they'd grown apart and "had nothing in common." The former duo now share joint custody of their son Chance.

"I am back and forth a lot and spend quite a lot of time in LA with Chance," she told The Daily Mail. "He does however prefer his dad's house to mine due to the fact that he is 17 and Paul has an awesome 'teen hangout room."

John Meillon – Walter “Wally” Reilly

John played Mick’s business partner, Walter “Wally” Reilly, in what would be the most well-known role of his 29-year career.

Although John had a big radio career as a young man – he received an OBE from the Queen for his services to theatre in 1979 – Crocodile Dundee would be his most high-profile gig.

Crocodile Dundee II in 1988 would be John's final role before his death in 1989 of cirrhosis.

David Gulpilil – Neville Bell

David was an accomplished hunter, tracker and ceremonial dancer before he caught the attention of British filmmaker Nicolas Roeg, during a regional scouting trip for a film role.

The then 16-year-old star was quickly cast by Nicolas in the 1971 film Walkabout, shooting him to instant fame. From there he starred in a range of films before playing the Indigenous character of Neville Bell in Crocodile Dundee.

David, now 63, went on to score multiple award nominations for his part in Rabbit-Proof Fence, before gaining further acclaim for The Tracker, The Proposition and Baz Luhrmann’s Australia.

But he’s also made headlines for the wrong reasons. In 2010, David was sentenced to a year in prison for domestic violence charges.

David still acts, and recently won Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival and the 2015 AACTA Awards for the film Charlie’s Country.

Steve Rackman – Donk

We know him as Donk, the dude that Mick Dundee kisses on the lips in Crocodile Dundee. But Steve Rackman was also a pro wrestler!

Steve reprised his role in both Crocodile Dundee sequels and felt like completing the trilogy was a fitting way to retire from Hollywood. He now runs a gym.
