Paul Mercurio

Actor, dancer and TV chef Paul Mercurio is probably best known for his role in Strictly Ballroom. In this series he embarks on a journey into his ancestry to investigate rumours of a mafia connection and discovers a political kingmaker leading a double life.

After his parents divorced when he was six, Paul and his siblings were raised in Western Australia by his Mum. He never got to know his father until he was an adult. Paul’s father Gus emigrated to Australia from the US in 1956 and Paul wonders whether Gus’s shortcomings as a father in some way stem from that move.
