Bruce Roberts is a welcome presence in households around the country. As the genial Newsreader for WIN News, he has anchored more than 18,000 primetime news bulletins and written extensive content featured in the nightly broadcast.
Bruce has been with WIN News for 13 years, daily presenting bulletins aired throughout Victoria, the ACT and New South Wales.
As a graduate in performance from the National Institute of Dramatic Art, he is no stranger to the camera. For three years, Bruce played Constable Nick Parrish in the iconic Australian series, Home & Away; cast in the role the day after completing Drama school.
A sojourn in the U.K. during the 90s provided him opportunities to traverse the stage in a breadth of performance from Shakespeare to Pantomime. He also commenced roles presenting and reporting for the BBC and SKY Sports.
Returning to Australia, he played the role of Sam Carmichael in Mamma Mia for the Sydney and Australasian tour of the show. Having tried to lycra, he made the switch to suit and tie, with a focus on journalism in 2008.
Bruce joined STAGES to reflect on all elements of performance and presenting; and just a little, on the pull of football.
