The most heartbreaking news was received on June 15, 2022, about the passing of an Australian theatre and television actor. Tommy Dysart’s cause of death was announced as a short battle with illness at the age of 86.
He is a Scottish-born Australian theatre, television, and film actor who is famous for his work in dramas and comedies on television, as well as character roles in films and miniseries.
He was born on December 24, 1935, in Maryhill, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He later moved to Australia where he became a citizen to pursue better opportunities in his acting career.

Over almost sixty years, Dysart built a large and diversified body of work of theater and film appearances after graduating from NIDA in 1959. He was also involved in many charitable activities and believed in giving back to the community. He truly was a legend.
His best TV performances are:

His most well-known appearance is in the imposing prison guard Jock Stewart in the 1980s series Prisoner. He was also famous for appearing in advertising for Don Smallgoods as a recurring character who resembled a Mafia leader.
He was married to Joan Brockernshire. They had children. People express their sympathies to Tommy’s actress wife of more than 50 years, Joan Brockenshire, as well as his family, friends, and many admirers like The Shannons Club.
Joan began acting when she was seven years old, in the shows like “Young Seven” and “Stairway to the Stars.” Joan’s character in Prisoner was Tina Britten. In Australia, she is known as one of the most well-known musicians.
Joan’s incredible talent brought her roles in shows like:
- The Sullivans
- Bell Bird
- Cop Shop
- Prisoner as well as musical theatre.
The Shannons family remembered Tommy and Joan as their members, and Tommy will be known as the company’s most famous brand ambassador. Tommy Dysart’s net worth was calculated as one million dollars.
