oday on TV Central: One on One, we catch up with a good friend of the show — Lee Tiger Halley.
The last time Lee joined us, we shared a heartfelt conversation about his family, his career, and the strength that drives him. It was clear then — and it’s even clearer now — that Lee isn’t just a brilliant actor, but a genuinely grounded and inspiring person.
Now, he’s back with an incredible new project — Beast of War, directed by Kiah Roache-Turner. It’s one of the boldest Australian films of the year: a gripping World War II survival thriller inspired by true events off the coast of Western Australia.
It’s a story of courage, sacrifice, and brotherhood — where the real danger isn’t just from the skies, but from beneath the waves.
