'Home and Away' Dan Ewing hopes for film career

Home and Away star Dan Ewing has revealed that he would like to pursue a movie career in the future.

The 26-year-old has been appearing as bad boy Heath Braxton on the Summer Bay soap since the beginning of the year, and fans in the UK are about to see him start playing a more prominent role in storylines.

Speaking to OK Extra about life on the Home and Away set, Ewing commented: "I absolutely love it. As an actor, it's a dream come true being cast in a soap because it's guaranteed regular work. It's actually not the first time I've appeared on the show. I had a small part as a character called Reuben five years ago.

"The producers liked me but back then I was 20 and wasn't quite ready to appear on the show. They asked me to audition for the part of Heath's younger brother but I ended up getting the main part. I haven't looked back since!"

Asked whether he has any future acting ambitions, he replied: "I definitely want to make films. I really admire people like Russell Crowe and Ryan Kwanten who have gone on to make it in Hollywood. They've shown that it's possible to be more than a soap actor."

Ewing also explained that he is currently single and is not looking for a girlfriend.

"I don't think it would be fair to be in a relationship," he said. "I know what I'm like when I come home from filming. I'm moody and tired - who wants to be around that?"

Ewing recently told Digital Spy that upcoming Home and Away storylines will explore Heath's past.
