As a long time host of Play School, Luke’s probably spent more time entertaining kids than any of us ever will! But beyond that, he’s an amazingly accomplished actor… from getting his start on the kids show Lift Off! back in the early 90s, to being a regular on the awesome Redfern Now and more recently in the big budget adaption of The Artful Dodger on Disney+, not to mention a tonne of amazing theatre over the years. Luke is super generous and frank in this chat, talking openly about what it was like to have a kid really young, the powerful role his mum played in his life, and also talking honestly about his new blended family, the amazing joy that has brought him and his two sons and the deep love he has for his step-daughters... but also some of the unique challenges they have all had to navigate.   As you’ll hear, Luke brings such positivity and fun to his parenting, but it’s also obvious he understands that tenacity and sacrifice is a big part of it too… We get the feeling Luke leaves it all on the field when it comes to dadding. It was beautiful to hear him talk with such passion, and we are sure you’ll agree. PS - we recorded this episode a while ago, and Luke has since tied the knot and made his blended family official!  Huge congrats to Luke!!   Luke is in a bunch of stuff at the moment, including T<a href="https://www.disneyplus.com/en-au/series/the-artful-dodger/OVaLog2e2EIW">he Artful Dodger</a> on Disney + and you’ll soon find him in the upcoming season 2 of <a href="https://www.stan.com.au/watch/scrublands?ds_rl=1263226&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADJeREVGZ1d5jyLZ-x4OgOHBQ_EzX&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7Py4BhCbARIsAMMx-_JbcZAVkdKdwWZWNVG3-qOeuJY8vGUL56u_FpMm5vkRlIYaFFOEXngaAuokEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds">SCRUBLANDS</a> on Stan (and of course on <a href="https://iview.abc.net.au/show/play-school">Play School</a>) Thanks as always to you guys for listening - you can get in touch at <a href="http://howotherdadsdad.com">howotherdadsdad.com</a> — And big thanks to HERTZ who are back as our exclusive sponsor in season 3.  And just like us, Hertz are all about making memories and having adventures.  So if you need a great car to complete your next family getaway, head to <a href="http://hertz.com.au/hodd">hertz.com.au/hodd</a> for a great discount.
