Background

Hargreaves was educated at Marist College Kogarah.[2] He taught in Mendooran, New South Wales, but moved to Sydney in the 1960s. He graduated from the National Institute of Dramatic Art in 1970.[3]

Hargreaves was mainly a film actor, but is well-remembered by Australian audiences for the title role in the TV drama Young Ramsay in the 1970s and worked in a number of stage productions. Hargreaves had roles in The Removalists, Don's Party, The Odd Angry Shot, and Malcolm. He played the love interest of Nicole Kidman's character in Emerald City.

In 1994 he became the first actor to receive the Byron Kennedy Award.[4]

Personal life and death

Although he had exclusively heterosexual relationships while young, by the early 1980s Hargreaves acknowledged and embraced his homosexuality. Between 1984 and 1988, he partnered with French actor Vincent Perrot.[4][5]

Hargreaves contracted HIV about 1994 and died of AIDS-related complications in a hospice in Sydney on 8 January 1996.[4] Pallbearers at Hargreaves' funeral included actors Sam Neill and Bryan Brown.
