A clue maybe, obscure so as to not make it too easy.....
Unlocked his career in Australia, not born here
And with others with similar skills they worked together, but did not quite qualify as master tradesmen

Thats him Sheba. Who have you got?
James Keays was a Scottish-born Australian musician who fronted the rock band the Masters Apprentices as singer-songwriter, guitarist and harmonica-player from 1965 to 1972 and subsequently had a solo career. Wikipedia
Know the face, but the name won't come. He is an actor, isn't he ?

As far as I know he is not an actor, and he don't fall in love

Where are other players ? Sometimes it seems as though we're the only ones playing. Don't want to lose this thread.
He looks like some-one from one of the Cop. shows, but from your clue, I take it he's a Singer ?

Yes he's a singer and a clue for one of his songs is in my last post. Yes sometimes we get several participating which make the game better and then no one, they are not traveling.

Hi Sheba yes it's Billie Miller he has gone into obscurity I had to google his name but if you heard the song "Don't fall in love" by the Ferrets on the radio it might ring a bell it was No one in 1977. When you post a pic I might wait a bit to see if we get anyone else joining in. This thread is getting quiet it used to be popular I haven't seen BG for a while he was a regular.
Billy Miller is an Australian musician who started singing and playing guitar back in the 1960s. After a 3 year stint in the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar, he formed The Ferrets, who in 1977 had a no1 hit ("Don't Fall In Love") and gold album ("Dreams of a Love"). Countless bands and gigs followed, today he still plays in his original band, and up until 2004 worked in a music production company (Duffield Kenihan Pty Ltd) creating music for TV commercials, and co-producing the music for "Round The Twist" (Children's TV Foundation). Billy also composed music for several short films, including "The Bird" (VCA 1996), which won best music in its category.
Now, in 2011, Billy is busy playing gigs with Stephen Cummings and his own band, recording a new album, composing and producing soundtracks for films in his studio, starring in documentaries and barracking for his beloved Saints (St Kilda Football Club).

I was thinking that I should do that too. Anyway, here's another one. It's easy.
Spot on BG. Glad to see you're still with us. Off you go.
Frederick Martin MacMurray (August 30, 1908 November 5, 1991) was an American actor and singer who appeared in more than 100 films and a successful television series during a career that spanned nearly a half-century, from 1930 to the 1970s.

Yeah, still alive Sheba !!! Just been a little busy.
Frederick Cossom Hollows, AC was a New Zealand-Australian ophthalmologist who became known for his work in restoring eyesight for thousands of people in Australia and many other countries.
Ooooh! Dear! I am going to have to pass here. I am not quick enough to keep this rolling as well as what has been going, so I guess it's back to Big Gorilla.Sorry.
I shall keep watching to find out what the pattern of use is and maybe get another go.
I just saw the answer and jumped in like a mad man.

Thanks for the help here. Have pm'd Sheba with thanks. It IS a very nice game and I hope to have a better response ready for next episode, if I ever get one right again. So I guess it is Big Gorilla or Sheba who have got the go this time.

That really helped Tony Bonner the helicopter pilot in Skippy the bush kangaroo. I really wouldn't have got it without that clue
OK Sandy. Off you go.
