John Howard is a well known Australian actor.  There is also an Australian ex-Prime Minister by the name of John Howard, but we are not concerned with that one here.

In 2000 John Howard (playing the part of an actor playing the part of the Prime Minster John Howard), issued an apology to the aboriginal people of Australia:

Apology by John Howard

That these words were spoken by the actor, and not by the then Prime Minister, is sad, but it does not detract from the truth of the words.

I was led to look up John Howard by the news that he will be playing the part of the doctor in my daughter’s short film, Long Lost, of which you can learn more (and, if you wish, contribute towards) at:
