Jonathan Hardy

Wellington-born Jonathan Hardy — who died on 30 July 2012 — was an actor for more than four decades. En route, he did theatre in New Zealand, Australia and England, and acted in Kiwi movie The Scarecrow and a run of Australian projects. He also co-wrote Constance and Aussie classic Breaker Morant, in the process becoming the first Kiwi to be nominated for an Academy Award for scriptwriting.
