I was at school with this bloke - Ravensbourne School For Boys, Hayes Lane, Bromley Kent, England, which is neither in Australia, and most certainly not a rough neighbourhood (as claimed in some press releases). It was incidentally also the school Billy Idol went to.
Nine years and one day today we lost a great actor. Tragic. BTW, this is a terrific tribute to Trevor that you've posted. Thanks. I wish I had known of his work before he passed. I only learned of this man, today.
Very well done, Trevor played a great (if not stereotyped) character in JAG. The producers only got one thing wrong though (and a minor point), the ribbons on his uniform (see 0.27); more than an admiral when we first met Cmdr Brumby. Fortunately as the series went on they got it right.
in 2003 Trevor was found dead in his home in Los Angeles California He apparently died from a drug overdose Although he was often cast in Australian roles he was actually English This truth was revealed by Goddard's father at his son's funeral something attempted to tap into the Hollywood demand for Australian actors by disguising his thick London accent with an Australian one
Goddard was the most underrated actor of all time. That man deserves so much more credit than he recieved. I firmly believe that after his career was going to go to new heights after his role in Pirates of the Carribean. Such a sad shame he died so young. He was such a beast. He played all his roles to perfection and was a true party animal in and out of the spotlight. R.I.P Trevor. You're in a better place.
@tronk9 Goddard was indeed English but he passed himself off as Australian in Hollywood, presumably to get roles. The dreadful fake Australian accent fooled the yanks because no-one can copy an Australian accent. Also, as another comment on this page points out, Waltzing Matilda was used in the ep of JAG, for which Goddard is best-known, when his character left JAG & returned to Aust. The scene was also replayed as a tribute to him after he died. HINT: Chk facts b4 calling ppl effing morons!
I also had just find out that he was dead with an overdose on all kind of drugs in a depression after his divorce with his wife. Such deep love can sit. So sad because he is one year older than me and which means that he becomes 50 years of age this year and a whole life ahead of him. I wish his family all the best by his lost.
A very touching tribute to Trevor Goddard and Mic Brumby. Particularly the last part where the JAG bunch sings "Waltzing Matilda" to Mic as he leaves McMurphy's to go back to Australia. It's so sad that he's gone, just like "JAG" itself. I still miss it.

His casting in JAG was the ongoing genius that they had during the whole series. You're missed Bumbry.
June 7, 2012.
Today in 2003 we lost a a wonderful person. R.I.P.
RIP Trevor! You are truly missed! One of the best movie villians I have ever seen.
I love this version of "Waltzing Matilda". I like this guy.
RIP Trevor.
Trevor wasn't Australian. He pretended to be Aussie to get the role but his bad Aussie accent gave him away in Australia. RIP Trevor.

He was a great actor and will always be remembered, forever.
Rest In Peace, Trevor Goddard. The Legend Will Never Die.

a fine physical example of Eng/Oz masculinity
Godspeed, Mr. Goddard!
You left us far too soon...

Trevor Goddard was a cool actor, and so handsome (tee-hee)! Such a shame, at least he's better now...

I loved him in MK and in JAG. Such a shame he was gone too soon.
R.I.P i cried when i watched this
Rest in Peace, Trevor.
Where did you find this version of the song? I checked on Amazon and can't find it.
Today I found out that Mic/Trevor is dead
That makes me very sad, I liked his roll in Jag very much
R.I.P. Trevor
He was always very handsome but he didn't have Mac's heart. she loved him but wasn't in love with him.

I can't believe hes dead. I loved him in MK and Deep Rising.
