Mark Trevorrow was born on February 4, 1959 (age 63 years) in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. He is the third son of Alan Trevorrow, a builder-turned-teac her, and his mother is Dorothy Trevorrow. He has a younger sister and two older brothers. In his teens, he came out to his family as gay.
Trevorrow attended Murrumbeena High School and was co-editor of the school magazine. That interest in journalism led him to become a copy boy at The Sun News-Pictorial starting at age 17, for five years. He moved on to theatre and cabaret, encouraged by the party atmosphere at the Melbourne production of The Rocky Horror Show every weekend.
Career
Mark Trevorrow first came to prominence in the cabaret duo Globos with Wendy De Waal, and they scored two Australian Top 20 hits with quirky covers of “Tintarella di luna” (1982) and Sonny & Cher’s “The Beat Goes On” (1983), both of which were produced by Red Symons.
Trevorrow formed a comedy duo with Cathy Armstrong in 1984, in which his flamboyant alter ego Bob Downe was born. “Bob Downe” is a cheesy, safari-suit-wearing lounge singer with dazzling teeth, and host of the fictional regional daytime TV show Good Morning Murwillumbah. The distinction between the two personae is often blurred: Trevorrow and the “Prince of Polyester” both appear at events and host television programs.
