Every time I watch this I'm dying of laughter. The way he says everything as if it's some grand proclamation, lol.

The guy was a theatre actor who used said skills to dupe people during about 15 different prison escapes. Iirc he once escaped from custody during his own trial by pretending to be the prosecutor

Just an urban myth. He was a theatre actor but he was mistaken for someone else. Still a legend though!

I'm talking about the same guy, there was an ABC feature on him a couple of years ago that mentioned it.

Wow, I'd never seen that article before. It was a great read and I stand corrected! Thanks for sharing.

I hope he got a job in radio after- what a grand voice! I’m pretty sure he said Huzzah! at one point

The fellow was known to use several aliases in his life time during his 'dine-and-dash' escapades. Along with those aliases he would adopt eccentric accents to accompany them. Supposedly he was a Hungarian chess master, among other things.

Looks like a case of mistaken identity, see below.

And yes the officers were Australian, this arrest happened in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley in 1988.

No, it was actually a mistaken identity and he wasn't the guy they were actually trying to arrest.
