Biography

Eddie (Edmund) Baroo was born on the 25th September 1968 in Geelong, Australia.

An accomplished singer and guitarist, he fronted the band Stodgewood.

He formed Buggertoe records, with CD releases receiving international and domestic critical acclaim.

In 1997, Eddie signed with Cherry Red label in the UK, releasing three CDs for Manchester United Football Club - The Greatest Soccer Album of All Time, Red Anthems and Football Crazy #3.

After a rewarding career in the music industry which garnered publishing deals, worldwide releases, television appearances and independent chart success, at the ripe old age of 30, Eddie made the transition into acting.

His first role came from ABC's Something in the Air and guest roles followed on popular Australian TV dramas including Blue Heelers, Stingers, Underbelly, Rush, Beaconsfield; and successful TV Series Fat Tony & Co. and Killing Time.

His first film break came when cast in Ghostrider (Nicholas Cage, Eva Mendes). He later landed the role of 'Bull' in Baz Luhrmann's epic Australia, alongside Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman.

Throughout his career he has always been a staunch advocate for first time director/low budget feature films. He appeared in Patrick Hughes' RED HILL, Kasimir Burgess' hauntingly beautiful Fell, Save Your Legs, My Year Without Sex, Summer Coda and Crawlspace, the Sci-Fi action thriller that he co-wrote with Justin Dix.

In 2015, Eddie can be seen in Julius Avery's debut feature Son of a Gun, alongside Ewan McGregor and his great mate Brenton Thwaites. Three other films also slated for release are Sucker, Now Add Honey and Downriver.

Eddie is currently writing the Sci-Fi action adventure SONS OF LIGHT screenplay.

Eddie has four children, Molly, Bailey, Harry and Teishe. Their early childhood pictures have been turned into distinctive tattoo work that adorns his arms and chest.

In 2014, after 21 years of Stodgewood retirement, they were coaxed to reform for The Mane Event, a fund-raiser concert to create awareness for Mental Health.
