Biography
Ben Denis Unwin's signature role was Jesse McGregor on Home and Away, the Australian television soap where he appeared from 1996 to 2000 and again from 2002 to 2005. His performance earned him a 1997 Logie Award nomination for Most Popular New Talent and a British National Television Award nomination for Most Popular Newcomer. After leaving the show, Unwin shifted careers entirely, completing a law degree and working as a senior solicitor first in Sydney, then in Newcastle. Born 15 August 1977 in Australia, Unwin was a Leo, associated with creative ambition and public presence—traits his early acting work embodied. As an actor, he performed in television productions typical of the medium: on-set performance and sustained character work across multiple seasons. Unwin was found dead on 14 August 2019 at his home in Minyon Falls, west of Byron Bay, one day before his 42nd birthday. Police did not treat the death as suspicious.
