Daniel John Pollock (24 August 1968 – 13 April 1992) was an Australian film actor. He was perhaps best known for his role as Davey in the 1992 drama film Romper Stomper.
Pollock was born in Melbourne, Victoria, the son of John and Lucy Pollock. Pollock attended Swinburne Senior Community School in the Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn in the mid-1980s.
Pollock acted in the films Lover Boy (1989), Nirvana Street Murder (1990), Death in Brunswick (1991) and Proof (1991).
Pollock's last performance was in the 1992 film Romper Stomper alongside New Zealand actor Russell Crowe. Pollock was posthumously nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 1992 AFI Awards for the role.
On 13 April 1992, 23-year-old Pollock, battling depression and fearing a prison sentence in an upcoming court case, committed suicide[1] by walking in front of a train at Newtown railway station, Sydney, prior to the release of Romper Stomper.[2] He was buried next to his grandfather William "Bill" Pollock in Gol Gol, New South Wales.
His Romper Stomper star Russell Crowe, has wrote a song in 2001, and called "The Night That Davey Hit the Train", about his death.
