Jonathan Banks has probably had the biggest career success story after being a part of the “Crocodile Dundee” films. He has become one of the most in-demand character actors on television today. Prior to Dundee, he was in the films “Airplane!” and “Beverly Hills Cop.” He got his first big break on the TV series “Wiseguys.”
He has most recently hit it big in his role as a former police officer who turns into a hitman in the AMC series “Breaking Bad” and its spinoff, “Better Call Saul.” This has even led to Academy Award recognition for the burly character actor, as well as five Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
Terry Gill
Gill is a well-known character actor. Even though he only appeared in one of the "Crocodile Dundee" films, his character is remembered by anyone who has seen it! He portrayed the leader of a group of kangaroo hunters whom Dundee had to fight in the hotel bar. In that memorable scene, Dundee later used a dead kangaroo as a cover to scare the hunters. Since his role in "Crocodile Dundee," Gill would go on to act in a total of 71 films!
Terry was also seen in the recurring role of Detective Jack Grace in the women's prison drama Prisoner. He was also a regular cast member in "The Flying Doctors" and played another starring role in "Blue Heelers." He also had a guest role on "Neighbours." He passed away at the age of 75 in 2015.
Gerry Skilton
Crocodile Dundee heartthrob Nugget O’Cass was played by Gerry Skilton. Gerry went on to have appearances in all three of the "Crocodile Dundee" films. Unfortunately, those appearances would be the only roles on his resume. For some reason, Hollywood stopped sending Gerry audition notices and information, so unfortunately, Skilton had no choice but to retire from acting in 2001.
His last film was "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" — just like so many other actors on this list. He reprised the character in 2010 for a proposed outback-adventure reality series, "Nugget Gets A Life," with permission from Paul Hogan, which he self-financed and had hoped to sell to a network.
Paul Rodriguez
The "Crocodile Dundee" films will always remember Paul Rodriguez as Diego, in the third and final installment of the Dundee films. Born in Mexico but raised in Los Angeles, Rodriguez has developed into a diverse and multi-talented entertainer. When it comes to comedians, Paul Rodriguez has had quite a long and incredible career. Rodriguez has starred in many acclaimed films, like "Ali" and "Blood Work."
In 2004, he was ranked #74 on Comedy Central’s list of the "100 Greatest Standups of all Time." Aside from acting, he also received the "Humanitarian of the Year Award" for his contribution toward water conservation in the City of Fresno.
Jere Burns
Donning the ultimate ‘bad guy’ look, Jere Burns remains one of the most memorable cast members in "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles," playing the role of Arnan Rothman. Jere has had quite an impressive career since the ending of the Dundee trilogy.
He has gone on to get some huge TV roles on his resume - working on projects like "The Muppets," "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series," and the hit TV series "Justified" as Wynn Duffy. Jere Burns has also appeared on Broadway! His Broadway credits include "Hairspray" and "After the Night and the Music."
