Quentin Kenihan, the disabled man from Adelaide who became an Australian TV star landing roles in a Mad Max movie, has passed away at the age of 43.
Hollywood star Russell Crowe tweeted on Sunday afternoon “devastating news. My little mate, the bravest bloke I ever met … gone. We ill meet again @qkenihan. Not confined any more”.
Quentin was a suburban Adelaide boy suffering brittle bone disease, when in 1983 he was interviewed by legendary journalist Mike Willesee.

Quentin later went on to become an author, filmmaker and film star, as well as loud advocate for people with disabilities.
In 2000, he carried the Paralympic torch down Oxford Street in Sydney for the Paralympic Games.
In 2015, he played the character of Corpus Collosus in the blockbuster Mad Max Fury Road.
Following the tragic news of his passing, tributes have flooded in for Quentin.
