Heath Franklin is a Logie-nominated Australian actor, comedic performer, improviser and writer.

Franklin made his television debut on the sketch show The Ronnie Johns Half Hour, from where his character, 'Chopper', a comedic impersonation of real-life criminal Mark 'Chopper' Read, has become an international cult hit. 

Franklin's efforts were rewarded when he was nominated for an Australian TV Logie award, the inaugural Graham Kennedy Award for Most Outstanding New Talent.

The hilarious stand up / sketch show sees 'Chopper' uniting Australia and New Zealand as one country, with a cast of comedians reflecting on the unique aspects of our different cultures.
