Drew Forsythe (born August 23, 1949 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia), is an Australian actor, singer, writer and comedian. He has appeared on film, stage and television, as well as in satirical sketch comedy television programs. His stage appearances include the Gilbert and Sullivan Savoy operas HMS Pinafore and The Mikado, as well as originating the title roles of the heroic Tonino and the foolish Zanetto in the Nick Enright/Terrence Clarke musical of "The Venetian Twins". His television appearances include The Miraculous Mellops, The Dingo Principle and Three Men and a Baby Grand, satirical sketch television comedy programs for which he was a writer/performer with Phillip Scott and Jonathan Biggins. The "Three Men" team started in revue at the Tilbury Hotel, and much of the thematic material from these revues has been revisited in the Sydney Theatre Company's "Wharf Revue" series. Forsythe was the anonymous, uncredited voice of David Tench, an animated talk show host[1].
