Plays Tony Holden

Down load Jon's signed Fan card.

Jon Sivewright was born on 22 May, 1965 in Perth, Western Australia.

When Jon left school he worked on the mines in the North West, travelled and then became a fire fighter for 12 years. During this time Jon dabbled in some amateur theatre in Perth.

Jon moved to Sydney in 2003 to follow his passion and pursue acting. He was accepted into the Actors' Centre in Surry Hills where he completed the two and a half year 'journey course'. He then acquired an agent and went on to do some commercials, television guest roles including All Saints and some theatre.

Jon's character Tony Holden moves to Summer Bay with his two boys Jack (Paul O'Brien) a cop and Lucas (Rhys Wakefield) a student at Summer Bay High, to take up the role of the school's new Physical Education teacher.

Widowed for 14 years Tony, he brought up his two boys Jack and Lucas. They are more like best mates than father and sons. "Tony's family is everything to him, he has a lot of love for his kids," says Jon.

He fell in love with Beth Hunter but tragically lost her in a car accident and he is now engaged to Rachel Armstrong and they are expecting a baby.

Originally from Fremantle, Jon is a keen AFL fan and supports the Fremantle Dockers. He's a keen surfer and loves to play guitar.

Now living in Sydney's eastern beaches Jon likes to surf or swim every day.

Jon was born under the Zodiac sign of Gemini.
