Underbelly and Division 4 star Gerard Kennedy has sadly died at the age of 93. His death was confirmed by a family friend, who wrote on social media on Monday (April 21): “Vale Gerard Kennedy. 1932 - 2025.
An iconic Australian actor of many decades. Well-remembered by Prisoner fans for his portrayal as terrorist Al in The Wentworth Siege episodes.” Gerard took home a Gold Logie award for two consecutive years in 1971 and 1972, as well as two Best Actor Logies in 1972 and 1973 for his role in Division 4.
With stints on everything from Neighbours to Blue Heelers, he went on to star in the horror film Wolf Creek 2 in 2013. His final on-screen role came in 2015, when he appeared in two episodes of ABC drama Glitch before he retired. Tributes have been flooding in for the star on social media, with one fan tweeting: "Sorry to hear of the passing of Gerard Kennedy, can still hear that dramatic theme of Division 4 and picture Frank Banner looking at his watch.
Gee they were great shows back then." Another echoed: "Australia is mourning the loss of one of its greatest television icons. Gerard Kennedy, a trailblazer of the small screen and a fixture in the homes and hearts of generations, has passed away at the age of 93.
" Someone else posted: "One of my favourite actors, oh bless. RIP Gerard Kennedy. He, IMHO, was brilliant.
