Guy Pearce
- Born: 5 Oct, 1967
Guy Pearce became an Australian heartthrob through such primetime serials as "Neighbours", which he joined in 1985 (alongside Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue), and his six-week stint in 1991 on "Home and Away". But, in the twist that often makes a career, it was as the bratty drag queen Adam/Felicia in "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (1994), that he won attention outside his native land. In that film, Pearce was the youngest of the three drag performers, a bundle of energy always pushing the edge of danger.
