Career

Apart from acting in numerous films and television shows, he also wrote, directed and produced the films Ten Empty (2008), New Skin (2002) and Sweet Dreams (2002). Ten Empty had its World Premiere at the Sydney Film Festival (2008). The screenplay was nominated for 2007 Queensland Premier's Literary Awards and 2008 Victorian Premier's Literary Award. New Skin (2002) won the Dendy Award at the 2002 Sydney Film Festival and won Hayes an IF Award as best emerging director. Sweet Dreams (2002) was voted most popular film by the audience at the St Kilda Film Festival in 2003. Hayes also earned AFI and Film Critics Circle award nominations for The Boys.

Hayes received AFI and Film Critics Circle award nominations for best supporting actor in The Square (2009), and won for Look Both Ways (2005) and Suburban Mayhem (2006).[1]

He is a co-founder of Rogue Stars Productions[2] with fellow actors Brendan Cowell and Leland Kean[1] in 1999.[3]

Although primarily a screen actor, Hayes does voice over work as well.[4]

Joel Edgerton nicknamed him "The King of Western Grit" during the shooting of The Square,[5] The moniker later became the name of a Facebook page, with a collection of movie posters with Hayes' face on them.

Activism

In April 2015, Hayes was an organiser of the #saveourboys video featuring (among many Australian citizens) Film/celebrities including: Bryan Brown, Guy Pearce, Geoffrey Rush, Joel Edgerton, Luke Hemsworth, Brendan Cowell and Peter Helliar.[6] The video called upon Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to step up and secure the lives of reformed drug smugglers Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran in the last 24 hours before their execution. In the video, Hayes himself said: "show some ticker Tony Abbott. Get to Indonesia. It's your job." The video went viral and amassed much support on social media pages. Despite many stating the government had done all it can leading up to their deaths, it was later revealed by human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson QC that a number of avenues could have been taken.

gollark: Apparently `.recover` is able to recover the database (mostly?) but this is not really ideal.
gollark: According to the bees, just backing up my Firefox places.sqlite file while Firefox is running leaves the file unusable and corrupted.
