This is truly a very tragic day for Australia. Someone who we fought would be in our lives forever has now left the screen for the last time.

Charles 'Bud' Tingwell really was a one of a kind Aussie character. For several decades he played many roles on radio, television, theatre and film. He has appeared on many Australian made shows including Homicide, The Flying Doctors, Blue Heelers, Round the Twist, All Saints, Neighbours, G.P. and Prisoner: Cell Block H. I could go on about the many shows and films he has appeared in but that could take all week.
This just proves what a true inspiration he is to the Australia Television and Film Industries!

But for me, my all time favourite Bud moment has to be when he was on The Castle. The scene where his character gave his speech about the Kerrigan Family and how no one should ever take their home away from them. I still remember that scene after all these years.

Bud is survived by his son Christopher and daughter Virginia, who is also an actress.

RIP Bud, you'll be sorely missed mate!!!!!
