Clinton Voss

Clinton Voss (born 11 October 1979) is an Australian television actor. He is most notably known for his role as Kelvin Crump in the children's show Ship to Shore.

Voss was born in Brisbane, Queensland and educated in Western Australia. He was a member of Clyde Selby's North Lake Theatre before landing a role in 'The sharp Detective Agency' playing Jackie, younger brother to Isla Fisher (wife of Sacha Baron Cohen) the ill fated show had funding problems from German based investors and was subsequently dropped by its producers Nomad Films. The show later surfaced in Queensland as 'Bay City'. Clinton and his agent, John Low and his now retired wife Veronica Overton, were then left with a decision; move to Queensland or take the role as Kelvin Crump in 'Ship to Shore, produced by Paul Barron. Clinton was a finalist 'Young Australian of the Year' and awarded an 'Outstanding Achievement in the Area of the Arts' award.

Ship to Shore's creators David Rapsey and his writer brother John Rapsey also favoured Clinton for such roles as 'Snowy Bowles', a gay cyclist in the series 'Sweat' played by Heath Ledger. Controversy surrounded this decision as Ledger was set to play 'Kelvin' in 'Ship to Shore' however BBC, Nine Network and ABC executives saw it differently. Subsequent negotiations saw Ledger play opposite Voss in only a few episodes of Ship to Shore and a rematch was sadly never to be.

In recent years, Voss has appeared in several television series and adverts including 'Halifax F.P'. The RAC and healthy eating potato advertisement are perhaps some of the actor's more memorable performances of late. Ship to Shore was seen in over a hundred countries and negotiations to release the DVD box sets of the series has so far failed.

Clinton now resides in Perth, Western Australia and has recently been working on marketing and sales representative for Beaurepaires.
