Australian actor Jack Thompson teaches Mike Walsh how to do a short Tai chi sequence and talks about his love of the practice of Tai chi.

Having a 90-minute live show five days a week allowed Walsh to follow his instincts as an interviewer and performer. With a good idea of what would engage viewers, Walsh gives his guests the opportunity to show a fuller picture of themselves and really connect with the audience.

Thompson is best known for his roles in films such as Wake in Fright (1971), Sunday Too Far Away (1975), Breaker Morant (1980), The Club (1980) and The Man From Snowy River (1982).

Clip from The Mike Walsh Show: Episode 2191.
