“Things aren’t going to be the same when you get out Frase.” – Denise Fraser No they would definitely not be. But in other ways, like say Fraser's sense of self-righteousness and desire to be on centre-stage, things are probably the same as they ever were. For the last seven weeks we've watched Andrew Fraser (David Wenham) rise from first-rate but...

David Wenham, Killing Time
We were all impressed by Richard Cawthorne's performance as Dennis Allen in Killing Time as he captivated his audience with a surreal portrayal of the crime king of Melbourne himself. It is no surprise to find out that when the AACTA award nominations were announced earlier today that Richard was indeed a nominee. The AACTA (Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts)...

"Families. They'll f#*k you up." - Lewis Moran Everyone and their stand-over man had an opinion on the criminal lawyer-turned-criminal Andrew Fraser (David Wenham) in tonight's absorbing episode of Killing Time.

“I have faith in Andrew. It’s Fraser I worry about.” It was a long hard road to the top for Andrew Fraser (David Wenham) but it was a pretty quick slide to the bottom. At least the view (of Perth) was nice while he was there. This week we saw Andrew finally achieve the lofty heights of his profession: a $20,000 a week retainer for Australia’s highest...

"I'd watch your back if I were you Snowy." - Det. Alan Daniels This week our Frase finds himself embroiled right smack dab in the middle of one of the ugliest periods in Australian criminal history. And there's no place Fraser would rather be. "There's a bloody war out there and the casualties are all my clients." Well, not...

8 things I learnt about David Wenham from the interwebs One of the things I've noticed over the last couple of weeks whenever I've talked to people about Killing Time is just how much everyone likes David Wenham. It doesn't matter who it is: male or female, young or old, caffè latte or VB – Everybody Loves David. I do too, but I'm not sure I...

"Repeat, not guilty." Not guilty. Who would have believed it? Well most of us now since we've spent 6 hours thus far with Andrew Fraser. But at the time, the verdict would have come as a shock to most Australians and questions still linger over whether the four defendants, Victor Peirce, Trevor Pettingill, Anthony Leigh Farrell and Peter David...

For our "hero" Andrew Fraser (David Wenham) this meant losing one of his best clients. Well, one of his best-paying clients at least. Dennis's death could have been a...

And inmate serving 7 years in prison. "Somebody screwed you good and proper", he's told when he enters maximum security for the first time. The only...
