• Quotes

  Director Baz Luhrmann on selecting Walters for the role of Nullah in Australia:

  • "He's a very capable young man with a natural cinematic chemistry. The demands of filming extend over a six-month duration which is a big challenge for an 11-year-old boy with no previous acting experience. In the end it was the incredible support that surrounds him in the form of his family, his school and the larger Broome community that was the final deciding factor."—Baz LuhrmannThe Sydney Morning Herald: New Face of Australia (May 27, 2007)

  • "We got a letter from the director [Luhrmann] saying he was very, very interested in him. He didn't know who Hugh Jackman was and he didn't know Nicole Kidman."—Brandon Walter's mother Janie WrightThe Sydney Morning Herald: New Face of Australia (May 27, 2007)
