Paul Hogan (actor)

He has five children to his first marriage, and one to his second. Apart from "Rang De Basanti" and "The Rising", he recently signed a deal for one more movie with director Kunal Kohli. Hogan married his Dundee co-star Linda Kozlowski in 1990 after divorcing his first wife Noeline. Aamir is currently working on a project called "The Rising" which is being made in 2 languages. 1986's Crocodile Dundee proved to be the most successful Australian film ever, and launched Hogan's international film career. This film was a big box-office success in India and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, 2001. Hogan's first film, featuring a similarly down-to-earth hunter travelling from the Australian Outback to New York City, was privately funded by Hogan and a group of private investors including much of its cast, entrepreneur Kerry Packer, and cricketers Greg Chappell, Dennis Lillee, and Rodney Marsh. Aamir's reputed perfectionism seems to have paid off for Aamir's first foray into film-production, Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India.

The character's most notable line (spoken incredulously at a ballet performance) "strewth, mate, there's a bloke down there with no strides on!" followed Hogan for years, and the popularity of its "fish out of water" humour was repeated with his next endeavour. Detractors say that his penchant for perfection sometimes leads to clashes with directors who don't listen to his objections or let him re-shoot a scene he thinks sub-par. During the 1980s Hogan appeared on British television in a long-running series of advertisements for Foster's Lager, in which he played an earthy Australian abroad in London. Aamir is also known for working on only one film at a time, unusual in the Bollywood film industry, because he wants to give his best to each film. The series, which ran for 60 episodes between 1973 and 1984, proved to be popular both in his native country and in the UK, and showcased his trademark lighthearted but laddish "Aussie" humour. His memorable characters include: Amar (Andaaz Apna Apna), Aakash (Dil Chahta Hai), Munna (Rangeela), Bhuvan (Lagaan) and ACP Rathod (Sarfarosh). Hogan followed this with his own comedy sketch programme, The Paul Hogan Show, which he produced, co-wrote, and in which he played a panoply of comedic characters. He will go to great lengths to give a convincing portrayal -- including, it is said, drinking heavily in order to play a drunken scene in Raja Hindustani, even though he doesn't drink in real life.

Formerly a rigger working on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Hogan rose to fame in the early 1970s in the comedy series A Current Affair. Aamir is known for his efforts to create believable characters, rather than just playing himself in film after film. Paul Hogan (born October 8, 1939 in Lightning Ridge, Australia) is an Australian actor and comedian. He has also done playback singing for himself in the film Ghulam which went on to become a success. He acted and wrote the screenplay for the film Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke (1993). Aamir began his career as a child-actor in the film Yaadon Ki Baraat (1973), when he was 8 years old.

Aamir's brother Faizal has also acted in films. He has acted in a few films directed by his cousin Mansoor Khan. His father Tahir Hussain is a producer and his uncle Nasir Hussain is a director. Aamir was born in Mumbai into a family with a history of film production.

He rose to stardom with the film Qayamat se Qayamat tak. Aamir Khan (born Aamir Hussain Khan, March 14, 1965, in India), is one of the most prominent actors on the Bollywood scene. Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988). Raakh (1989).
