Daniel John Pollock (24 August 1968 – 13 April 1992) was an Australian film actor. He was perhaps best known for his role as Davey in the 1992 drama film Romper Stomper.
On 13 April 1992, 23-year-old Pollock, battling depression and fearing a prison sentence in an upcoming court case, committed suicide[1] by walking in front of a train at Newtown railway station, Sydney, prior to the release of Romper Stomper.[2] He was buried next to his grandfather William "Bill" Pollock in Gol Gol, New South Wales.
Russell Crowe, Pollock's Romper Stomper co-star, wrote a song in 2001, called "The Night That Davey Hit the Train", about his death.
