Long time Home and Away Fans will remember Chris Egan as blonde haired babe 'Nick Smith' from Summer Bays shores between 2000-2003.
Since then he has had a few appearances in some under-the-radar American TV shows and a couple of Supporting Roles in the cinema.
I accidentally stumbled across 'Kings' one Wednesday night on 7Two and only watched the entire episode because I was eager to see what Chris had become.
He portrays the lead character with ease and still looks dam fine and dam Australian.
Starting off as a boy-next-door soldier, he is haphazardly thrust into the limelight when he rescues the son of the King of Gilboa and stands up to a 'Goliath-Class tank ' - a tank of a neighbouring warring country.
Yes, this is the David from the well-known biblical story of David and Goliath.
What I love most about this drama - other than the brilliant mix of family hierarchy and corruption - is that it makes me feel good knowing I'm watching something based (albeit loosely) on religious history - if you are Jewish or Christian that is.
It also makes a pleasant change from the 56 crime shows currently monopolising free-to-air TV.
'Kings' is halfway through its first season on 7Two so I strongly recommend downloading it and adding it to the 'must-see' library.
It has been a pleasure - and for me too ; )
