Australian-born Hollywood star Joshua Orpinis joining the cast of Home and Away.
The Melbourne native, 29, who plays Superboy in the US action series Titans, revealed on Sunday he is relocating to Sydney to star on the iconic soap.
‘One of the reasons I was keen to do this gig was because of that, I have worked internationally and I have been quite homesick,’ he told The Daily Telegraph.
‘Especially over Covid where I wasn’t able to come back to Australia even when I wasn’t working.’
The rising star played Connor Kent/Superboy on the popular superhero series from 2019 – 2023, which was filmed in Toronto, Canada.
He also appeared in the Melbourne-filmed American series Preacher and the Aussie show The Doctor Blake Mysteries.
Joshua said after working in Hollywood for several years he was keen to get involved in some quality Australian productions.
‘I really wanted to get stuck into some Aussie shows, film and TV and this came along and I thought it was the perfect opportunity,’ he said.
Orpin promised Home and Away fans that they can expect some unexpected storylines as his character shakes things up in Summer Bay.
‘He is a bit of a bad boy who comes into the show and stirs up some trouble among the Summer Bay locals.
‘He is seemingly one thing on the surface but he has a great depth to him I’ve had a lot of fun exploring,’ he added.
Joshua will make his debut on the hit Channel Seven series later this year.
