I wasn't shocked, but I guess that was pretty much how I was expecting him to look. Writer/Director/Producer/Editor from Sydney.

He is currently Special Adviser to the Secretary of State for Global Youth Issues and director of the State Department’s Global Youth Issues office. Just turned 24 & doesn't seem to bear much physical resemblance to his father.
