The half-Irish, half-Scottish Heath, named after Wuthering Height's Heathcliff, attended Guliford Grammar school as a child. Heath's parents, Kim (an auto-racer and mining engineer) and Sally (a homemaker) divorced when he was 10. At 16, Heath and his best friend, hopped in a car and drove about 2,600 miles from Perth to Sydney in hopes of acting gigs. Unexpectedly, eventually, he found himself in the United States, with a fairly hefty resume

Next up is a movie called "Four Feathers", which also stars Wes Bentley of "American Beauty" fame. This film is based on the book of the same name by A.E.W. Mason. It will be released sometime this year.
