Justin Melvey
Justin Melvey (born 7 May 1969) is an Australian actor who has appeared in a number of television series in Australia and the US.
Growing up along the Sydney coastline, Melvey attended Waverley College, graduating in 1986.
Melvey was a keen swimmer from the age of five, competing in local beach and surf swimming carnivals and volunteering as a lifeguard for 10 years. He also began skiiing at the age of three, and by 15, he was competing in the State Racing Team and ranked in the top five in Slalom in the Australian National Junior Championships. He was selected for the Australian National Freestyle Team and competed on the Pro World Cup Tour. He achieved second place in the National Championships at the age of 17.
Melvey also began training in martial arts at the age of eight. He earned his black belt seven years later, and his 2nd Degree Black belt while he was still in his teens. He competed on the New South Wales state fighting team for three years and earned coaching credentials with the Australian Institute of Sport.
In addition to his sporting achievements, Melvey was an international fashion model before starting his acting career.
Melvey's breakthrough acting role in Australia was playing Harry Reynolds in the long-running soap opera Home and Away from 1999 to 2001. His portrayal earned him a Logie Award for Most Popular New Talent on Australian television. He had previously appeared in the serial in a guest role in 1997.
He left the series to take on a lead theatre role in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, beginning at the Sydney Opera House. He played Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Titus and the 33 of Shakespeare’s other leading men. The show toured Australia in 2001.
Melvey is best known to United States television audiences for his work on the soap opera Days of Our Lives from October 2001 to January 2003. He played Dr. Colin Murphy who worked for legendary villain Stefano DiMera. During Colin Murphy’s time in Salem, he juggled many storylines with his cousins Bo and Sami Brady and his on-screen love with popular daytime princess Jennifer Horton. Australian viewers did not get to see this stint, as the Nine Network decided in late 2004 to skip 864 episodes of Days to catch up with the US (instead airing a special, "A New Day", to show highlights of the four years of storyline thus skipped). However, Melvey returned to Days for a short stint in late 2004, which Australian viewers were able to see.
