OK, that doesn't have a lot of urgency, I realize. But maybe this delightful article in today's Chicago Sun-Times will change your mind. [I'm not actually Australian -- I lived there for 3 years in the '80s, but that's all. The rest is true. Even Shaun's sentence, "It's amazing to movie and improv people." That's the most true of all.]
This week is your only chance to hear trumpet player Paul Miller join Ben Taylor to create a live improvised score for the movie.
Saturday, 8:30 pm at the 3 Penny Cinema, 2424 N. Lincoln.

You should totally go with the Australian thing. Everyone likes Aussies and women throw themselves at foreign men with cool accents. You just have to start taking with an accent.
Next time you should convince the writer that not only are you Australian, but you were raised by pirates. Arrr. Or maybe wolves... Grrrr. Or something.
I once had a director tell a newspaper that I grew up on the mean streets of New Orleans surrounded by sex and violence. The paper actually printed that without checking with me. I didn't have the heart to correct them and say that I was really raised on the not-at-all bad roads of suburban Kansas where sex and violence are way too cool to surround anything.
