A Very Special Person

A Very Special Person

"A Very Special Person" is an early 1980s promotional video for the theology/ministry course at Avondale College, a Seventh-day Adventist tertiary education provider in New South Wales, Australia, featuring now-famous actor Russell Crowe.

Crowe appeared in the video when he was just 18 and struggling to find acting work::"I didn't have anything official showing that I had studied this art form. I thought the only way to combat this is just to do as much as you can, you do work in as many mediums as you can, you do everything until you've learned from that. So I did what I could for it, whether it was a training film for the Seventh Day Adventist Church ["sic"] , a television commercial or just stuff to get in front of the camera.""

Adventist Russell Gibbs worked as director of photography on the film, and explained:"It was shown in colleges and high schools to encourage people to become priests. He actually spoke to real ministers in researching for the role and admitted he found the whole thing very interesting.":"He had to sleep on my couch. He didn't even have enough money to commute from Sydney every day for the shoot. So he stayed at my house."
