Australian Actor Vernon Wells’ Net Worth, Height, Age, & Personal Info Wiki

Before rising to fame as one of Australia’s most well-known actors, Vernon George Wells had a humble beginning. Vernon started out working at a quarry before moving on to sales, theater, and rock bands.

He was chosen by casting directors in the 1970s to take part in a play. From that point on, Vernon started to appear in print advertisements, regional Australian TV shows like “Matlock Police” and “Homicide,” as well as historical TV miniseries notably “Against The Wind,” “Sara Dane,” and “All The Rivers Run.”

After multiple appearances and gigs in the entertainment industry, Vernon finally had his cinema debut, playing a supporting role in 1979’s erotic fantasy low-budget movie, “Felicity.”

Later, in 1981, he was chosen to play the murderous biker Wez in “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior,” which helped him progressively rise to stardom and become well-known internationally. Afterward, Vernon started making appearances in Hollywood movies, playing the role of Bennett in the 1985 military action movie “Commando,” which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The actor was being cast in “Last Man Standing” and working on the drama “Fortress” when he was first asked to play a part in “Commando.” He was at the time in Australia as well.

One of Vernon’s few non-villain parts was in the brief 1992 classic comedy program “The Amazing Live Sea Monkeys”; for the remainder of the 1990s and 2000s, he continued to play villains.

Among his other projects are “Circuitry Man,” “Kick of Death,” “Starforce,” and “Power Rangers Time Force,” in which he plays the series’ primary antagonist, “Ransik.” He returned to the part in 2002 for the two-part team-up episode “Reinforcements from the Future” of “Power Rangers Wild Force/Time Force.”

Australian character actor Vernon also played the prize-winning role in “Trouble Is My Business” and appeared in the 2009 horror movie “Silent Night, Zombie Night.” (4)
