I thought you must have meant Bill Hunter, unless you were referring to an obscure Texas senator.
Bill used to be a local part-time barman until about ten years ago, (We don't pay our actors like oriental potentates).
He is in most Aussie movies, his best being "Muriel's Wedding", (as the Mayor of Porpoise Spit) 'Gallipoli" and Bruce Beresford's remarkable "Newsfront", (remarkable because it looks like it cost millions of dollars but was made for less than the cost of the coffee budget of "Terminator II")
If you enjoy Aussie movies, see them while you can. First Rupert Murdoch intimidated our state government into giving him our beautiful old showgrounds to turn them into studios where crap like "Starbores" and the "Matrix" pretentiousnesses are made. Now our gee-whizz new free trade agreement will see the demise of what's left of our film industry.
