Acting career

Hill joined the cast of Home and Away playing the role of Blake Dean; which Hill said helped him make friends in the acting business.^[1] He also starred in the film Flirting, which required him to perform his first naked bum shot.^[1]

Hill is also known for his role as underworld figure Jason Moran in the 2008 series Underbelly.^[3] He has a starring role in the drama series Rescue: Special Ops.^[4]

Hill has also appeared in Pacific Drive as Grant Crozier in 1997, Water Rats, Wildside, the Nine Network series Scorched, and the 2010 Steven Spielberg produced Miniseries The Pacific.

It was announced in late 2013 that he would be reprising his role of Jason Moran in the sequel/spin-off series Fat Tony & Co. which will not be placed under the Underbelly franchise (due to financing reasons) and will focus on the rise and fall of Tony Mokbel, who also featured in the original series, played by Robert Mammone.
