Our Official Enchanted Australia Castle Knights
Altiyan Childs ~ NSW Australia
A professional musician who devotes alot of time to his band, music, fans, God and anyone else he can fit into his life. Very much a part of our Enchanted Australia Castle Brotherhood.
Safari Tom ~ Florida Keys, USA
Tom Peltier, or better known as Safari Tom.
Tom lives with his beautiful wife Katarina and baby son Connor in Florida Keys, USA. Tom is a mad wildlife conservationist and relocates animals which come into the cities for food such as deadly snakes, crocodiles, alligators, possums and all types of wild animals. Currently training to be a paramedic (very handy in his case!); an author, film director of documentaries, poet & musician. Tom & his family will be relocating to Australia once Enchanted Australia Castle is built so that he can work at the castle full time in first aid for our jousters & sword fighters and hands on events. Tom will also become a WIRES volunteer to nurse sick and injured animals, relocate snakes for people in the town & have lectures at the castles, schools and annual show on animals and conservation.
Safari Tom was chosen as an official Castle knight because of his unsurpassed dedication and love of protecting wildlife worldwide. His many years of rescues on all forms of wildlife from alligators to deadly snakes, lizards, dogs and other animals and nursing them back to health, make him an exceptional role model especially for children and young adults.Federico Dordei ~ Italy / USA

And for his drama and comedy reels http://www.myreelonline.net/federicodordei/
Federico is not like the usual mainstream Hollywood A-Lister celebrities. He is very real and down to earth, not pretentious but in fact very kind, compassionate, humble and warm. I consider Federico to be an instant soul friend when I read his emails as he has a wonderful personality and willing to do anything to help our castle and for us to find finance.
Federico Dordei was chosen as an Official Castle Knight, not because he is a Hollywood A Lister celebrity, not because he is famous.....but because he is a wonderful role model for the new rising Hollywood stars and actors world wide. He shows that you DON'T have to do drugs to be cool, don't have to be fake and pretentious in the industry and that more people respect and like you for being down to earth, honest, compassionate with everyone around you. His personality is a rarity and cherished to say the least. He is what our young stars should be aiming to be like.

Len Snow ~ Nashville, Tenn.
Country star Len Snow, Jr.'s new album, honors Country Music Hall Of Fame legend, Hank Snow with a new single to be released to radio entitled, "Country's What I Choose."
Hollywood . Nashville . New York . Toledo, Ohio (PRWEB) March 10, 2006 -- In the early 50’s, Hank Snow discovered a young singer by the name of Elvis Presley and took him on as an opening act. He later invited Elvis to join him at the Grand Ole Opry and helped him find his manager, Colonel Tom Parker. If Country Music Hall Of Fame member Hank Snow were alive today, he would take great pride in introducing his living prodigy, Len Snow, Jr. to the audience of the Grand Ole Opry. He might even introduce him to a manager and take him on as an opening act in country music. One thing’s for sure, Len Snow loves the history and the career of his hero Hank Snow, so often referred to as “The Singing Ranger” and the man who still holds the record for the song “I’m Moving On” with more consecutive weeks at number one in country music than any other song in the history of the Billboard Hot Country Singles Charts. Mikel Gore of Entertainment Headline News in Nashville caught up with Len on his way to his CD Release party in Toledo, Ohio and interviewed him for Clear Channel Radio’s “New Artist’s Who Have Hit It Big At Country Radio” program.
Len Snow Jnr was chosen as an Official Castle Knight due to public and Castle team requests because of his strong convictions and dedication towards his music and fans. He is a role model for people of all ages because he sticks to his morals and principles and is well respected by all ages. His love of God and music clearly shows in all that he does.
DC Green ~ Ulladulla,NSW Australia

Following the acclaimed success of 'Erasmus James & the Galactic Zapp Machine', 2007 will see the publication of two new DC books: 'Three Little Surfer Pigs' for younger readers and the much anticipated 'Stinky Squad' (which the castle's 'Stinky Squad Olympics' will be based on). DC has visited literally hundreds of schools Australia-wide each year, presenting laughter-packed shows that have earned him thousands of loyal fans and readers.
Known as 'the Green Knight', DC has also written an adult graphic novel and over 2,000 articles for 50 plus magazines and newspapers around the world and contributed to a dozen anthologies. He lives on the NSW South Coast with one slightly crazy daughter and four very crazy cats, and is eager to perform dramatic readings and hilarious shows for the young (and the young-at-brain) at the Castle. Good knight!
Christopher Malecki ~ Hollywood ~ USA
Christopher Maleki is a native of Glendale, California and has two half brothers and a sister. He started acting professionally at the young age of 12. He always knew what he wanted to do and quite a bit of success as a child actor. He then got into music and played in several Heavy Metal bands as a lead singer and toured with such bands as Great White, W.A.S.P and Ratt just to name a few.
Christopher started working continuously on Teen magazine phase and several series. Then on September 20th 1997 Christopher was working on the show Sliders with fellow actor Ken Steadman when tragedy struck. Ken was the driver of a dune buggy with cameras mounted on; Christopher was a passenger when the vehicle flipped over killing Ken and seriously injuring Christopher. It was a life changing experience. Christopher decided to take a couple of years off and see the world. Since his return Christopher has enjoyed much success. With many films and episodes under his belt, Christopher signed on with the soap Passions where he played the lovable but bad boy Spike. Christopher has been living his dream for many years. With his whole life ahead of him, a new outlook on life, there is nothing that he can't do including several appearences on the US acclaimed show Jury Duty now showing in Australia. He is considered an A-Lister Hollywood celebrity.
We chose Christopher as an official castle knight because of his diverse careers in the entertainment industry, the considerable amount of respect he upholds from all his co-workers and fans and his compassion, enthusiasm and honest nature. The team are rapt to also have Christopher as one of our fans and look forward to meeting him once we are firmly established.

Whether it is the latest report of the Loch Ness Monster, the discovery of a pyramid on a remote Pacific Island, or something a little closer to home like a Tassie Tiger sighting or a haunted house, Tim is quick to arrive on the scene to investigate.
Tim is the National Museum of Australia's Resident Cryptonaturalist and author of several books on mysteries of the world including most recently "The Adventures of Tim the Yowie Man" (Random House, 2001).

The guys from Future Role Models ~ Australia
It wasn’t long before this journey took a massive twist …. ENTER …. Snoop Dogg - The million dollar man of Rap Music. Snoop was in Australia when, through a mutual friend, he heard some of Jason’s very raw demo’s. The call was made and Jason was on a plane to write with Snoop. Nothing ventured nothing gained as they say. They delivered two songs that night, and for Jason what was also delivered that night was a belief in his own talent. Six new songs in a week were written and demonstrated, including Freaking Me Out, Popularity Contest, and Wasted.
The search for the rest of band started, and ended in one session.
Three friends rolled up for the first round of auditions, and halfway through the first song, the band was finalised. Eyes darted around the room as if to say, ‘did that just happen?’ Indeed it did. There was chemistry. They burned and yet they have only scratched the surface.
Future Role Models are:
- Jason Singh - Vox, guitar
- Dayne Lawless - Drums, percussion, vibe
- Aaron Laguda - Guitar, bv's, strange words
- Kit Riley - Bass, bv's, good times.

Rob* ~ USA (surname witheld)
What's so special about me, you may ask? I run a site called Mission: MySpace http://www.myspace.com/missionmyspace that serves to hunt down and eliminate pedophiles, solicitation, pornography, phishing, and cyber bullying on MySpace. Mission: MySpace was founded in November 2006, and I've killed nearly 6000 MySpace profiles. I started hunting profiles when a pedophile Boy-Lover tried to add me as a friend. I had his profile destroyed, then desecrated half his friend list by having Myspace delete them. It felt good to have pedophile profiles destroyed, so I continued hunting the criminals of the internet. The hunt goes on...
