Biography
Australian actor, musician and noted family, the son of Terence and Sue Donovan.

During his teens, Donovan was featured in several TV series, best known for the role of Scott Robinson in the Australian dramatic series "Neighbors" when he was 17. He put out a vocal record in September 1988 that was a hit. In April 1989, he left "Neighbors."
