From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhys Wakefield (born 20 November 1988) is an Australian actor.
Wakefield was born in Cairns, Queensland. He went to The McDonald College, the same institution that Nikki Webster had her highschooling at. He had some minor roles in a few shows, but his big break came when he won the role of Lucas Holden in Home and Away in August 2005. He plays the son of Tony (Jon Sivewright) and brother of Jack (Paul O'Brien). He had never met his "Father and Brother", so they all went to dinner to get to know each other before starting on the show. He now resides with his family in Sydney.
