Danny Mulheron

Danny Mulheron is a New Zealand actor, writer, and director who has worked in theatre, television and film.

Mulheron has acted in and directed plays for more than seven and a half years, and once created a late night cabaret show featuring a 1.6 metre tall character named Bastard the Gnome.

In 2005 Mulheron co-created and directed the comedy series Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby, about an ageing schoolteacher who gets a job working in a high school. The character began as a theatre piece, with Mulheron playing Gormsby. Melbourne Age critic Ray Cassin called the television version as "resolutely politically incorrect as it is possible for a television series to be".

The same year Mulheron directed the play The Tutor, written by his Gormsby co-writer Dave Armstrong (Note: not the Irish footballer of the same name.) The play won the award for Outstanding New NZ Play at the Chapman Tripp Theatre Awards in 2005. Mulheron has also worked on plays with New Zealand novelist and scriptwriter Stephen Sinclair, and writer/cartoonist Tom Scott, another of the Gormsby co-writers.

Mulheron's career has seen him host a television show about automobiles, AA Torque Show, act alongside a man made of straw (Worzel Gummidge Down Under) and play a traumatised hippopotamis in Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles, for which he was nominated for an award for best female performance. Mulheron was also responsible for writing some of the hippopotami dialogue, along with some of the other animals in the cast.
