Darius Perkins

Darius Perkins is an Australian actor, best known for his longest-running role, Scott Robinson in soap opera Neighbours, in 1985.^[1] His first role was on The Sullivans in 1976. He played "Charlie" in All The Green Years and played guest roles in Prisoner and A Country Practice. He also played "Ben" in the HBO movie, "All the Rivers Run" in 1983. This was followed by the role of Scott in Neighbours.

Perkins was the original actor to play the role, but appeared for only the show's first year. When the series moved to Network Ten at the start of 1986 Perkins was fired due to problems with his behaviour on the set, including lateness.^[2] Jason Donovan took over the role. The character remained in the show until 1989 and married Charlene Mitchell (played by Perkins' former Sullivans co-star, Kylie Minogue).^[2]

After leaving Neighbours in 1986 Perkins played Gary Samuels in Home And Away, a new soap opera devised as a rival for Neighbours.^[2] He subsequently appeared once again on A Country Practice in the mid-1990s, and more recently has been seen working behind the scenes, most notably in the art department for the TV series Crashburn.
