Currently starring as Lucas in ABC’s The Family Next Door, Bob Morley answers some candid everyday questions …
The state of my hair is …
A long, wavy mop, and I don’t attempt to tame it. My hair makes the rules, and I’m just along for the ride.
The state of my heart is …
Full. I choose optimism and love. Not always the easiest, but always the most beneficial.
The state of my undies drawer is …
Divided between active sport undies, and comfy junk huggers.
The best accessory I ever bought is …
A bidet! During the pandemic, when toilet paper was rationed, the bidet became my best friend. Now I can’t live without it.
The most famous person I’ve met is …
Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I was at a charity viewing of The World According to Garp, and he happened to be there. He’s one of my acting idols.

Back in high school, I was …
A complex conundrum. I loved maths and science, football and soccer, writing and performance. I was a bit of an outsider, being mixed-race in a predominantly white school.
The best thing about The Family Next Door is …
The cast and crew. I loved working with this bunch and would do it again in a heartbeat.
The worst thing about The Family Next Door is …
Not enough episodes to keep enjoying my last comment.
I feel sad when …
My expectations of myself aren’t met. Or when a clear injustice takes place.
The last time I laughed hysterically was …
When my three-year-old son constantly comes out with bangers. He doesn’t know he’s funny, which adds to the joy.
I’m shit scared of …
AI and false information, gun violence and belly buttons.
People don’t know that I once …
Auditioned for a Disney Prince at the Tokyo theme park. I didn’t get the part, but maybe I dodged a bullet.
When alone in my car, I …
Listen to Heavy Metal – Tool, in particular.

My most embarrassing moment on set was …
When the girls from The Family Next Door pulled up YouTube footage of my time on It Takes Two (Music talent show).
My secret food indulgence is …
Chips and dip. If I’m deep in a bag of Doritos, then I’m having a rough time!
My favourite all-time television character is …
Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) on The Office.
The song that makes me smile and want to dance is …
Don’t Stop Me Now, by Queen.
The song I can never get out of my head is …
Flawless, by The Ones.
My gay mates are …
Funnier and more stylish than I!
