Be charmed by the wave of Australian talent sweeping US television. They are waltzing to Tinseltown and into our living rooms…

In the TV-scape, too, the Australians are proving to be an asset. Here, we take a look at 14 hardworking Australians (in no particular order) who are (or have been) regulars in our living rooms.

13. Emilie de Ravin (Lost) – It would not be right if Australia was not represented in a series that had characters of virtually every nationality! Before embarking on Lost, the 27-year-old has been chalking up an impressive resume that includes Roswell, NCIS and CSI: Miami. After Lost, she secured a tiny role in the current gangster movie Public Enemies and a considerably bigger part opposite Robert Pattinson in Remember Me.

De Niro, Rodriguez to star in 'Machete'?

Rex Features

Robert De Niro and Michelle Rodriguez are to star in the movie Machete, it has been claimed.

The film, which is to be co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis, was featured as a mock trailer in the 2007 flick Grindhouse.

The plotline centres on a Mexican ex-federate that works as a day labourer while he hides out from a crooked politician that double-crossed him.

It is understood that the Oscar-winning actor will take on the role of Senator McLaughlin, while Rodriguez is to star as Luz, a source told BloodyDisgusting.com.

Danny Trejo, who portrayed the weapon-wielding individual in the faux coming attractions segment of Grindhouse, was also reported to be reprising his role. 21 Jump Street director-actor Jonah Hill has been suggested as being on board as Julio.

Filming for the movie is set to begin on July 29.
