Sartorially as well as mentally sharp, this dapper Melbournian makes a big impression with his take on masculinity, playing with our perceptions of machismo and feyness and asking 'what makes a man manly?' The playfulness of the show paid off and word-of-mouth was quick to spread, gaining Asher a Best Newcomer nomination to add to his numerous awards and nominations.
