He might be getting ready to make his soap opera debut this week on Home And Away.
Sam Mac, on the other hand, isn’t the first Sunrise star to show off his acting skills on the long-running show.
Sam jokingly reminded viewers during Wednesday’s Sunrise broadcast that presenter David ‘Kochie’ Koch had a two-line appearance on the show back in 2007.
He then proceeded to broadcast Kochie’s lacklustre performance, which included him socialising near the Summer Bay surf club’s bar.
Kochie is shown with a stubby in his hand and saying, “Yeah sure.”
‘That’s it!’ Sam said, mocking Kochie for his blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment. That is all there is to it. ‘It’s only two words!’
Producers ordered Kochie, 65, to mouth the phrase “watermelon” over and again since “you’re not permitted to make a noise while you’re talking,” he explained.
Sam, who will appear as a ‘VIP guest’ at a Summer Bay event on Wednesday night’s episode, noted that, unlike Kochie, he will not be in the background in his parts.
He joked, ‘You’ll see that tonight, I was truly acting!’
On Wednesday night’s episode of Home And Away, a Summer Bay charity gala turns into a tragedy after a mystery stranger launches a chemical assault through the air vents.
Sam appeared in a promotional clip for the episode, wearing a suit and tie and being referred to as “the VIP” by spectators when he arrived at the posh event.
Home And Away returns to Seven on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.
