LUKE JACOBZ RETURNS TO 'HOME AND AWAY'

​

Press Release | 2009

​

Former HOME AND AWAY star Luke Jacobz is returning to Summer Bay as police officer Angelo Rosetta, reports The Daily Telegraph.

​

The 28-year-old said that he is relishing the opportunity to return to his role as the most hated character in the soap's history.

​

"For many years I've played the likeable characters that never do anything wrong, so it's been great to walk into a room and have daggers thrown at you," Jacobz said.

​

"It's good playing a character that isn't liked. Everyone hates him and it's been great to play something new."

​

Earlier this year, viewers were left stunned when Angelo fatally shot one of Summer Bay's favourite sons, fellow police officer Jack Holden (Paul O'Brien).

​

Jacobz, who previously starred on rural drama MCLEOD'S DAUGHTERS, said that he would remain with HOME AND AWAY for the foreseeable future.

​

"When we received word that MCLEOD'S DAUGHTERS had been cancelled, we went to work right away trying to find Luke's next full-time role," says RISE Director, Rob Woodburn. "We contacted every casting director and television producer in Australia letting them know that he would be available soon."

​

Woodburn adds, "We were very fortunate that there was interest from HOME AND AWAY in a 3 month role (Angelo Rosetta) that would be casting soon."

 

That role ended up becoming a contract role due to the character's popularity with audiences.

​

"We are proud that we were able to seamlessly transition Luke from one long-term role to another. It's a testament to his popularity as an actor, and the strength of our agency to get things done," says Woodburn
