George Miller's first choice for the starring role of Max Rockatansky, was the Irish-born James Healey, his family moved to Manchester, England before emigrating to Melbourne, Australia in 1970. He studied acting at both NIDA (Sydney) and RADA (London). While residing in Australia, he acted in the television police procedural Homicide in guest roles since 1975 and 1976. After that role, he worked at a Melbourne abattoir, while pursuing his theatrical film debut. Upon reading the script given to him, Healey declined the role of the strong but taciturn character, finding the lead's meager and terse dialogue too unappealing for his vocal acting performance.
