Toadfish: 'I've got the world's best job!'
Ryan Moloney has been a mainstay of Neighbours for the past 14 years - and he has no intention of leaving the soap yet, or ever! "I want to stay in Neighbours until they get rid of me," said the 29-year-old actor, who's grown up on the Five soap while playing Jarrod 'Toadfish' Rebecchi. "It's just the best job in the world. I turn up, I muck around, tell a few jokes and then go home." He admits how lucky he is to have a steady income, but would he encourage his two young children to follow him into showbusiness? "I wouldn't encourage them, no, because if you want to be an actor, you also have to learn how to wait tables!" he joked. "Seriously, I would encourage them to do whatever they wanted to do. But if they do want to act, then they'll have my blessing, but I'd also encourage them to have a trade or another job to fall back on," he said.
