'As Nique Needles, Cornelius Delaney was a sought-after theatre, film and television actor in Australia in the 1980s. Dogs in Space allowed him, like others in this section of the book, to play a character from the same late 1970s Melbourne scene he was a part of in his teens. Delaney discusses his own upbringing; early experiences of playing music, including his time in The Curse; and his near-accidental transition to acting. While Delaney was one of the many Dogs in Space cast members who had been a part of the ‘original events’, he was employed on the film as a credible and experienced actor. He discusses this unusual status, as well as reminiscing about Michael Hutchence, Tony Helou, Saskia Post, Tim McLaughlin and others.'
