All three have the pretty much the same display of "Frustration"

Body Posture
It involves, forcing shut the eyes, Arms perpendicular to body in front, fingers tense and curled and pacing

Voice.
Nathan has some variety, but Coby and Jake's frustration depicitions are almost carbon copy. There is nothing unique.

We all respond to situations DIFFERENTLY, not by the textbook definition of what the emotion is supposed to involve.

Please Give Coby and Jake some acting lessons, because how it is, it is just horrible.

i agree. Jake's choices are very wooden.

I think they are fine the way they are; firstly, Angus managed perfectly well to make us dislike Nathan in the first 2 series and by the end of series 3 we grew to love him.
Ryan was great at being the bogun cousin; someone to be wary of at the beginning, and James plays Jake very well too.
Get over yourselves...bet you couldn't do any better...given the chance.

They get paid huge sums of money, for this. I'm a carpentor. If I don't do my job right, I go back and fix it. It is called professionalism. It takes a tiny bit of honor and dignity to achieve that.

But since ignorant women calling themselves fans are falling at their feet no matter what, I guess they can get away with sloppy work.

Could I do any better?
Could anyone do any worse?

I can't really comment on the acting since I'm just an "ignorant woman", but Australian TV doesn't actually pay that well except for the big-name stars.

I have to disagree with you there Rexy boy. All of the boys' personalities are different and unique. Yes, they may have the same sense of humour, but that's how they feed off one another with their responses that make the show what it is, loveable and always amusing. The banter between the boys is what I look forward to in each and EVERY show.

Coby's character played by Ryan Corr is a particular favourite of mine, he makes acting look effortless and is truly a joy to watch on screen. If you weren't already aware, Ryan was awarded the 2011 Australians in Film (AiF) Heath Ledger Scholarship. I think you may want to reconsider suggesting those acting lessons.

*BAM*

When Coby first appeared on the show, I didn't like him one little bit and found him to be creepy. I guess that showed what a good actor he is.

NOW, I really like him and his sense of humour. Ha ha.

He has got to distance himself from that low life grandfather of his if he is to make something of himself though.

Rex, This is TV acting is hard, have you ever tired it? The series doesn't have to emulate real life carpenter's work!...It's just a show, but I do believe that Jake is wooden, and he hasn't got much going for him other than looks. Once he pulls faces his whole face goes distaughted! Coby on the other hand is worth a logie in my book, he is funny, and plays HIS role beautifully, I love him. So everyone sees things differently.
