Early life

Lee was born in New Zealand. He was raised by his father, country singer Daryl Lee, after his parents separated when he was three years old.[3] When his father returned to New Zealand and remarried, Lee moved in with his mother when he was 19.[3]

Lee was in a band called The Notions, which had some success, but he had to quit because the band clashed with his part-time landscaping job and acting auditions.[3]

Jones that same year.[4] The following year, he appeared in the 1991 ABC miniseries Brides of Christ as Kevin.[2] He starred on Pacific Drive as Joel Ritchie in 1996.[5]

Lee appeared in Home and Away from March 1995 as maths teacher Andrew Warren.[6] Other TV appearances include The Flying Doctors, G.P., and All Saints.[7] He was also in a rock band called Phobia with fellow musician Phil Ceberano (brother of Kate Ceberano).[8]
