Aussie league star tackles Hollywood

Ian Roberts

Former Australian rugby league star turned actor Ian Roberts has packed his bags and is heading for the United States to try to crash tackle Hollywood.

Roberts, who returned to Sydney from the world premiere of Superman Returns in Los Angeles, has already found a home in West Hollywood and wants to seek fame and fortune in Tinseltown.

"There is just no work here and you can't plan a career here unless you are working with a network. I go in two weeks," he said.
