ChipsRafferty (26 March 1909-27 May 1971) was an iconic Australian actor.
Initially Rafferty was marketed in the United States as the Australian version of Cary Grant before being allowed to resume playing variations of the laconic bushman role that had served him well thus far.
Rafferty died of a heart attack in Sydney at the age of 62 shortly after completing his role in Wake in Fright.
