In the latest Australian series of Who Do You Think You Are – which also features Pat Rafter and Miranda Otto – the actor learns more about his recently deceased father’s family.

aside, Stephen Curry rarely appears as himself. The comedic actor, a fixture on Australian screens since 1997’s“I find it far more comfortable to be under the cloak of character,” he says. “Because if you cry as a character, people think you’re brilliant. But if you cry as yourself … my brothers , would rib me for the rest of my life.

Instead, it’s Curry’s mother, Helen, and his sister, Margie, a costume shop owner, who share photographs, and a lost poem that moves Curry to tears. “So many Australian have connections to the Gold Rush, but I’d never really thought about the sense of the danger around those places – the lawlessness, the fact that some of our ancestors had children born into those environments, which would have been so frightening and so discombobulating. And these are people who have already travelled in steerage for 18 months to the other side of the world.”
