FORMER Millicent High School student and noted television director Andrew Prowse is being mourned by his classmates from the 1960s following his death last month at the age of 68.
It is more than half a century since he distinguished himself at the local campus in his sporting and academic pursuits.
His credits stem back to the early 1990s with titles including Cody, The Doctor Blake Mysteries, Heartbreak High, Wildside, All Saints, McLeod’s Daughters, Underbelly, Fat Tony & Co. and Home and Away.
He was also a producer on Never Tear Us Apart: The Story of INXS.
Mr Prowse recently directed an episode of ABC’s The Heights, which is scheduled to premiere later this year.
His Sydney-based agent Marquee Management released a statement following the news of his death.
“Talented, funny, gruff, opinionated, great intellect, compassionate and always gentle-hearted, Andrew was enormously generous and he deeply cared about the people he worked with, the industry he dedicated his life to and his family that he adored. A true original, Andrew will be greatly missed by all of us and we send our deepest condolences to his partner Cate, his family and many friends,” it read.
