When Eddie Perfect walks into Harveys Bar and Bistro on James Street in a black T-shirt, hair teased up noughties-style, it’s hard not to think, “It’s Mick from Offspring”. You half expect Asher Keddie and Kat Stewart to walk in behind him.

The series ended in 2014, but Perfect, 48, is still recognised for it, even by Americans on the streets of New York City, where his career has taken him in the years since. (Ten’s show is enjoying a Netflix afterlife.)

Offspring was “an extraordinary experience”, Perfect says. “It was the longest job I’ve ever had in my life, by far. By the time they were wrapping up, I was already involved in doing Beetlejuice.”
