2000/2001  Musical Soundtrack

I am not sure if The Jackal was recorded in 2000 or 2001. 
It is the soundtrack to an as yet unperformed musical based on Dickens Tale of Two Cities. 
It features John singing in the role of the Marquis St. Evremonde, the vindictive aristocrat and scourge of the burghers of Saint Antoine. Also features John Wood, Normie Rowe and Russell Morris.

MARCH 2001. John becomes a work of art.

In a ten hour painting session, artist Michael Camilleri puts his impression of John on canvas and delivers it sopping wet with just 40 minutes to spare.

Its the first time John has been a subject in Australia's premier portraiture award, the Archibald Prize.

John Quote: "I am not the most objective person to look at me really, and yet it gives me a slight shiver to look at that because it sort of resonates inside me. It's like looking at a body part or something - it's definitely part of me."

2001 Looking Through A Glass Onion National Tour.

April 2001 saw the "All New" version of Looking Through A Glass Onion commence a national tour around Australia. John, Stewart and band were now joined by the Dr Winston O'Boogie Quartet - a talented bunch of ladies on strings who really added an edge to the show.


John Quote: "Stewart thought the string quartet would enrich it," he said.  "When we started the show in 1992, it was just me and Stewart.  Now we have a four piece band and a mini orchestra."

From a review: "Waters is not an impersonator but has filtered the songs through his own musical intelligence to give almost similar but unique versions of the brilliant originals.  With his uncanny use of the Lennon accent, Waters tells the story of an angry, complaining, aggressive, witty and sometimes endearing genius who had worked through the pain of childhood trauma to emerge apparently headed towards the end of his all too short life."

2002  Young Lions. TV Series, Channel 9

JULY 17 is the premier date for Channel 9's newest police drama Young Lions. With a cast boasting some of Australia's hottest young actors and the creative talents of Michael Jenkins who brought us Blue Murder, YOUNG LIONS will be one of 2002's most anticipated drama series.

Starring Alex Dimitriades as Eddy, Tom Long as Guido, Alexandra Davies, Penny Cook, Anna Lise Phillips and Katherine Slattery. YOUNG LIONS revolves around South West 101, an inner-city police station and its new breed of detectives - Eddy, Donna, Guido and Cameron - who are all in their twenties. Passionate and ambitious, the YOUNG LIONS will have their personal and professional relationships tested by competition and conflict as they cope with coming of age in a profession that deals out experiences far beyond their years.

Set against a contemporary backdrop of major crime stories, YOUNG LIONS focuses on the private lives of the four detectives, as well as two Department of Public Prosecution lawyers and a young forensic pathologist.
John stars as Bill Martin, Guido's cop father, who may or may not be dodgy, in 7 episodes.

2002/03  Oliver! The Musical

November 29 2001.  John was named to star as Fagin in the musical Oliver at Star City's Lyric Theatre opening in May 2002.  Other cast members that have been named so far are Steve Bastoni, Tamsin Carroll and Mark Mitchell.

To quote Australian producer James Cundall said he had no doubts about the casting. ``Often when you go into an audition, you think it could be X, it could be Y, and it comes down to which colour shoes they've got on. John, who is the quintessential leading man, blew them away."

Webmistress: "Personally - I think John will be a complete scene stealer in the dastardly and wicked role of Fagin.  It gives him these chance to play the personality of the character instead of the leading man/husband roles he seems to get these days.  I guess I will have to save up for another airfare !!!"

April 2002:  Rehearsals for Oliver! The Musical have commenced.
July 2002: John is still wowing the Sydney crowds as Fagin in Oliver!  I enjoyed a holiday over there last month and was able to see the show twice - look out for my review coming really soon.
March 2003:  Well after successful seasons in Sydney and Melbourne, John is now off to Singapore to continue the brilliant role of Fagin in Oliver The Musical.  The Singapore season will run from March 21 2003 to April 13 2003 at the Esplanade Theatre.

2003  Fireflies  TV telemovie and series. ABC

July 2003:  Currently in production is a new ABC drama made by Southern Star Productions called Fireflies.  John will star with Jeremy Sims and Libby Tanner in the telemovie and 20 part series. Set in a small country town, it centres on the townspeople and it's rural bushfire brigade. You can measure a township by the commitment of it's people.  Most of them are volunteers, from the fire brigade to the CWA. Whether you're new in town, or here for generations, when you're facing the driest hottest summer in decades, it pays to belong.  Fireflies focus's on events and relationships in a town where the volunteers of the Lost River Rural Fire Brigade extinguish fires and the relations amongst its residents continue to smoulder.

January 2004:  Finally a start date on FIREFLIES.  Set the video's for 7.30pm Saturday February 7th.  John will play Perry in the series and its set to be a great story.  Always good to see the ABC supporting strong Aussie drama series. 
Fireflies fans can click on the links to get all the up to date news and discussions each week.

February 14 2004:  John and Libby Tanner were interviewed by Kerri Anne Kennerley this week.

April 2004:  John and his co stars attended the 2004 Logie Awards. The show wasn't nominated for any awards as it wasnt screened at the time voting commenced.  Fingers crossed the strong performances by John and the cast will be recognised at the 2005 Logies.

2003  Evil Never Dies, Telemovie
John somehow found time between Oliver! productions to appear in a telemovie called Evil Never Dies.  So far it has only been shown in the USA in June 2003 on TBS - if I hear of its future televising here in Aus I will update the site. 
Co produced by Coote/Hayes Productions and stars Thomas Gibson, Katherine Heigl, Rutger Hauer, Simon Boswell.
The production made use of the University of Melbournes gothic architecture and state of the art modern buildings to full effect in the thriller movie set on a small Connecticut college campus.

After his wife is murdered by sadistic serial killer William Charles Lee (Simon Bossell), police detective Mark Ryan (Thomas Gibson) goes into an emotional slump that he is forced to quit his job. Soon afterward, several vicious murders occur, all bearing the modus operandi of Lee. This, argues the authorities, is impossible, inasmuch as Lee has been executed.
John Waters, stars as Professor Arken, a rather ambitious scientist performing naughty experiments in secret ... such as, trying to bring the recently deceased back to the living. He gets his grubby little hands on the body of an infamous serial killer, William Charles Lee, played by Simon Bossell (Aberration). Lee is successfully brought back to life, and ready to continue his reign of terror.
The obsessed Gibson is certain that his wife's murderer is back in business, and, together with female cop Eve (Katherine Heigl), he is determined to stop the "revived" Lee once and for all.

A contemporary twist on the Frankenstein legend, the made-for-cable Evil Never Dies was first broadcast June 1, 2003, on TBS

2004   Looking Through A Glass Onion

May 2 2004:  John sets off around Australia between now and September for an extensive tour with Looking Through A Glass Onion.

Long-running shows experience changes, no matter how minor, and Waters admits that over the years his performance as John Lennon has probably lightened a little in tone.

John Quote "When I first played him, I wanted to bring out the dark side of Lennon's character, and it was really quite a dark show," he says. "It was true to his character, of course, but now I feel I've probably relaxed a little and made the show lighter - more commercial, if you like. We even do encores, which we never used to do because the show was a serious piece of theatre."

June 21 2004: John and the Glass Onion Band performed Starting Over on Kerri Anne Kennerley's show this morning.

2005  Play.  Influence

January 2005: John will star in the Sydney Theatre Company production Influence, opposite Zoe Carides. opening 14 March 2005 in Sydney.
Written by David Williamson.  Directed by Bruce Myles

World premiere production.  A Sydney Theatre Company production. Williamson in top form - scathing and bitingly funny.
Ziggy Blasco (Waters) is a talk-back host whose power rests in his influence. He fills the airwaves with his appeals to commonsense, his hard line with terrorists and his lashings at political correctness. Politicians beg to be on his show. He is courted by the world. But in the private sphere, Ziggy’s influence is fading away. He can barely maintain a conversation with his glamorous young wife Carmela. His daughter swings between truancy and dabbling in the stockmarket - with his money. His sister despises all that he stands for and while Ziggy preaches to the metropolis that there is no such thing as the working poor, his own housekeeper struggles to provide for her family. Now his elderly migrant father reveals a dark family secret and threatens to go to the press. Just how far does Ziggy’s influence reach?

8 August 2005: Congratulations to Zoe Carides for being awarded a 2005 Helpmann Award for Best Female Actor in a Supporting Role in a Play for her superb portrayal in Influence.

VARIOUS ARTICLES & PHOTOS THRU THE 2000's.

Articles that weren't related to anything above have been put on their own pages.

Open Waters, 17 March 2001 (typed). Quite a revealing upfront interview.
'There's a certain amount of yourself that you have to give over,' he says.  'I mean, a lot of the times you think "Well, the public doesn't own me, they only own the work that I do because that's what I do for them and that's how I make my living and the private me is not their concern". 'But there's always that little blurred boundary. People are always going to want to know a little bit.

Going Nuts, 6 Jan 2002 (2 scanned pieces). Talking about his childhood and teen years.
John Waters ran away from home at 16, but 38 years later he's slow to admit it. At first he says "I sort of overstayed my school holidays." The he shakes his head and confesses "I was a wretched kid."

ABC Online Interview Transcript 30 June  2004 (typed with link to real player interview).
John enjoys his life and work as an Australian actor but still feels a certain nostalgia for the environment in which he grew up. "It's hard not for me at some times to feel slightly displaced," he says.

Steady Waters. CommunitiesForCommunities article November 2005
"The best thing about Australia is that you are given the opportunity to be an all round entertainer. I have always been careful not to be pigeon holed."

Untroubled Waters Keeps on Flowing.  The West Magazine. 16 September 2006.
on becoming a new dad all over again.... "I'm loving it. I have two grown up children from a previous marriage - and now this. I think I'd recommend it to any man who gets into his 50s and decides he wants to rejuvenate. I'd say find a young woman and have children. It works wonders."

Flight of folly: two adults, three kids, 16,000 kilometres. Sydney Morning Herald diary article by John. 6 Jan 2007.
"It was, according to friends, neighbours, colleagues and assorted local shopkeepers, an utterly stupid idea. On the face of it, taking a family of two consenting adults and three children from Sydney to Leeds for a wintry family get-together over the festive period would hardly seem an impossible scenerio."

Gigs are being performed around Tasmania and Victoria. Check the link for dates and venues.

John Quote: "It's been suggested to me many times since I became known as an 'interpreter' of John Lennin's music, that, having achieved the feat of bringing the man's persona into life so dramatically, it would be great if I could now just deliver the songs. No 'abridge' versions such as was occasionally the case in "Looking Through a Glass Onion". Let us enjoy the music. And while I'm at it, could I please do songs X, Y and Z. Favourites that were so tragically missing from the show.
My response has always been: great idea. Ill get back to you."

John rejoins the Ch7 hospital drama All Saints as surgeon Mike Vlasek in 2009. Season opener 3 Feb 2009!

HANGING over cliffs and dropping from helicopters has become part of John Waters' routine on the set of hospital drama All Saints. The Matrix-style helicopter and outdoor work is all part of All Saints' rejuvenated format, which includes the introduction of the Medical Response Unit (MRU).
"The Medical Response Unit is a way of getting doctors and surgeons to the site of accidents rather than just waiting for paramedics to bring them into hospital, it saves lives by getting to them earlier," Waters says. "Viewers will still see the regular All Saints department in action through various stories in the emergency department, but it's all tied together to broaden the show out a bit, and it has given the show more action. "I think it's been a great thing for the show on a whole, particularly for us who get to do all the exciting stuff."
2009 Was the final season of All Saints sadly.
