Australian Anthony Simcoe is one of the original Farscape crew, having played the part of D�Argo since the first episode. It�s clear that he�s put a lot of himself into the character, including inventing the rumbling D�Argo voice.

A graduate of Sydney�s National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA), Simcoe holds a specialised qualification in Actor Training, and lectures regularly for the NIDA. He has acted and directed extensively for theatre.

Before Farscape he appeared in various films and television shows, including Aussie comedy hit The Castle, about a Sydney family prepared to fight to protect their beloved house. Other films credits include Mr Reliable and Chameleon, and he�s appeared in such TV series as Water Rats, BeastMaster and that Australian standard Home and Away.

He�s very tall indeed, measuring 6�6".
