Paul Fenech (born 21 November 1972) is an Australian filmmaker, film and television actor, director, producer and writer of Maltese and Aboriginal descent. He is best known for writing, directing, producing and starring in the television series ''Pizza'', ''Swift and Shift Couriers'', ''Housos'' and ''Bogan Hunters'' and the motion pictures ''Fat Pizza'' (2003), ''Housos vs. Authority'' (2012) and ''Fat Pizza vs. Housos'' (2014). ==Career== Early in his career, Fenech directed ''More Than Legends'', a documentary highlighting Aboriginal culture through the eyes of elders from the Nyungar (W.A.), Arrernte (N.T.) and Tiwi (N.T.) groups.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=More than legends (). )〕 He first achieved prominence by winning third place in Sydney's annual Tropfest short film festival in 1995 for a biographical short entitled ''Pizza Man'' based on his experiences as a pizza delivery driver. He won the Tropfest award for best film in 1998 for ''Intolerance'', although he had submitted the film under the pseudonym Laura Feinstein to appeal to the sensitivities of the judges, particularly Tropfest founder John Polson, who hoped that a female director would win the award.〔Bookallil, Simon, ''Gone Troppo'' (documentary), 2004〕 Fenech was then able to secure a deal with Australian community broadcaster SBS to produce a sitcom based on his short film. Entitled ''Pizza'', and premiering in 2000, it ran for five seasons, with the final season airing in 2007. A full-length motion picture based on the series entitled ''Fat Pizza'' was released in 2003. Over a decade later, Fenech combined the storyline of Pizza with that of his third SBS Series ''Housos'' to create the feature film ''Fat Pizza vs. Housos''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fat Pizza Vs Housos )〕 Following the success of ''Pizza'', he created the sitcom series ''Swift and Shift Couriers''. Series 1 began airing on SBS on 27 October 2008 and Series 2 premiered on 15 August 2011. His third television show for SBS, ''Housos'', first aired on 24 October 2011. To date, two series have been produced, in addition to two full-length, cinematically-released motion pictures, ''Housos vs. Authority'' (2012) and ''Fat Pizza vs. Housos'' (2014). Housos won the award for ''Most Outstanding Light Entertainment Program'' at the 2014 Logie Awards.〔 Fenech's most recent program ''Bogan Hunters'', a combination of comedy and reality television, began airing on 13 May 2014 on 7mate and was the channel's highest-rating entertainment program and second highest rating show to date. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Fenech」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
