I think the other would be Alain de Cadanet who owned or still owns TE184.

Not sure how much acting in movies he has done but he does stuff on Speedvision.

Good Try.. Adam De Cadanet was a racing driver and TV presenter. But not an Actor..

The person I am thinking about is in the southern hemisphere

Does Mel Gibson fly?

Firstly

A) He does still act (occasionally) but he is not a well known actor - More a bit part actor (but he has been in anumber of films)
B) Acting is NOT his main work
C) He is Australian
D) He was in Crocodile Dundee II and III
