When Serge's parents read in the newspaper that a local production
company (Bangalow Productions) was looking for a boy to play Mick
Dundee's son in Crocodile Dundee in L.A., they made a short home video
of Serge talking to his Grandpa about his pet blue-tounged lizard,
Huffy. Casting director Maura Fay was "knocked out by his performance",
said director Simon Wincer.
Serge plays soccer and loves reptiles. He has 5 snakes, 1 gecko, 1 pink-tongued skink, 1 blue-tongued lizard and a dog!
