Christian Clark: 'Ray Meagher is a legend'

Home and Away newcomer Christian Clark has admitted that he thinks his co-star Ray Meagher (Alf Stewart) is a legend.

The actor, who plays Penn Graham in the Australian show, told Inside Soap that Meagher was an inspiration to him, adding that he has given the soap veteran a Hollywood nickname.

He said: "He's an absolute legend - I've nicknamed him 'Ray Duvall', after the Hollywood star Robert Duvall. He's an inspiration and we've done some great scenes together."

Discussing his character, he added: "Penn has come to town with a secret agenda. We know his father has some kind of connection to Summer Bay. However, we don't know the identity of Penn's dad, or why the guy seems hellbent on causing trouble for the locals."
