He was best known for appearing on both stage and TV versions of ''The Naked Vicar Show'', and for his role as Bob Bullpitt in ''Kingswood Country'' and the miniseries ''Day of the Roses''. He also worked as an announcer on Melbourne radio stations 3AK and 3XY, and was a regular guest on TV variety program ''In Melbourne Tonight''. McEwan's other acting roles included parts in a large number of TV series and mini-series, including the regular roles of Detective Sergeant Dan Cullen in ''Ryan'', Nick in ''Brass Monkeys'', and numerous guest appearances in programs including ''Homicide'', the television adaptation of ''And The Big Men Fly'' (1974), "The Rise And Fall Of Wellington Boots" (1974–75), ''Cop Shop'', "Sam's Luck" (1980), ''The Last Bastion'' (1984), "The Boardroom" (1988), "Jackaroo" (1990), ''The Gift'' (1997), and ''The Day of the Roses'' (1998). Starting in radio in 1957, publicity stated that he was the youngest announcer in Australia at the time. He worked on overnight and breakfast shows. In 1964, he joined the fledgling ATV-0 as a news reader and general announcer, but soon became the station's "jack of all trades", playing the roles of Gasper Goblin, Cassius Cuckoo and Leonardo da Funbird in ATV-O's popular national 1960s children's TV show ''Magic Circle Club'' (1965–67), starring as Ocker Ramsay in the 1967 comedy series ''Hey You'', and appearing in many other ATV-O programs including "Off To The Races" (1967–69), ''Fredd Bear's Breakfast-A-Go-Go'' (1969–72), "Musical Cashbox" (1969–71, which he also produced for a brief period), and hosting programs including "Carosello" (1967–68), and 1968's "Rendezvous" (which he also produced and directed). He also played the roles of Miser Meanie and Gussie Galah in Adventure Island (1967–72), and appeared as a regular on "The Ernie Sigley Show" (1974–75), and "Turpie Tonight" (1982–83). ==External links== * *(''Hey You'' ) at Classic Australian TV *(Obituary ) at ''The Age'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colin McEwan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
