Bruno Lawrence (February 12, 1941–June 10, 1995) was a musician and actor, born David Lawrence in Brighton, England. His family migrated to New Zealand in 1946, settling in New Plymouth before moving to Wellington in 1948. He spent most of his life in New Zealand and also worked extensively in Australia. Bruno was a renowned jazz drummer, playing drums in many bands, including Blerta, and The Crocodiles. He also acted in many movies, including Smash Palace and The Quiet Earth, at the time the highest-grossing New Zealand film.
His last role was as devious, golf-loving TV producer Brian Thompson in the 1990s Australian satirical television series Frontline. In 1995 during the filming of Così, which was scheduled to be his next role, Lawrence was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and died the same year.
A biography "Bruno: The Bruno Lawrence Story" by Roger Booth, and televison documentary "Numero Bruno"[1] directed by Steve La Hood cover his life and work.
