How The Castle call-up sent Michael Caton’s career straight to the pool room | Australian Story

Iconic Australian actor Michael Caton lives life to the full and makes no apologies for it. But at 78 he is aware the clock is ticking. Subscribe: bit.ly/3nO2CDi
In a candid interview, The Castle actor talks about the highs and lows of his career, the challenges of ageing and his lifelong friendship with fellow actor Jack Thompson.
Australian Story joins him on a road trip across NSW where he meets farmers lobbying against a coal seam gas project in the north-west. For Caton, life is now imitating art, and nothing matters more than making an environmental difference during the time he has left.

The Castle, what a fantastic movie and yes, many of its phrases have become part of the modern lexcon for good reason -- they're so damned good!

That mayor is taking a huge pay off from Santos. He'll take his dirty money and won't give a crap about the environment.

All this about digging deeper to play a part is just fluffy nonsense. We are who we are on the surface and deeper.
