Aanensen, Peter

Don't know much about this bloke, but he played plenty of different cops in Prisoner from episodes 313 to 512 and maybe as early as episode 45. Was a long time cast member in Bellbird as pub owner Jim Bacon. As expected of all good Aussie actors, he did appear in the film Cry in the Dark. Was a central character as the town's senior police officer in Shame, and also appeared in the film Dusty.

Appeared in an episode of Cody as a policeman, and most recently in Home & Away as Gordon McQuay (Sp?), a man Travis finds unconscious on a deserted boat and is suspected of smuggling. Seen in flames falling down an elevator shaft to (almost!) certain death in Fire. Sadly we'll never have this confirmed as Fire's been cancelled!

Andre, Annette

Played Camilla Welles, the radio show host put inside Wentworth for refusing to pay fines in episode 429. She is later called upon to help whenever the people inside Wentworth need some publicity.
