Some sleuthing fans have spotted My Kitchen Rules (MKR) 2024‘s Lawrence Murphy on a popular TV series, raising questions about his career as an actor.

One MKR viewer took to a Facebook group to share a photo of Lawrence in a jury scene on Aussie Drama The Twelve Season 2.

And his IMDB profile shows that The Twelve isn’t Lawrence’s only acting credit.

What TV shows has MKR’s Lawrence been on?

Lawrence’s IMDB profile shows that he’s been in three movies and one other TV show.

The home cook was the lead in the movie Lies Within Us and had parts in He Aint Heavy and Before Dawn, the latter of which was nominated for an award at the Vienna Film Festival.

In addition, he played a part in the Hulu series No Man’s Land and Prime Video’s The Claremont Murders.

Lawrence’s girlfriend Hannah was on Big Brother

Lawrence isn’t the only home cook on his team with experience in front of the camera. His girlfriend Hannah Campbell was on Big Brother. She came in 10th place and lasted 27 days in the house.

“I thought if I can do Big Brother, being locked in a house with randoms, I could do MKR,” she told TV WEEK.

“But let me tell you, MKR was 1000 times harder. I would do Big Brother every single year if I could. MKR, I don’t think I’d go back and do that!”

Fans react to Lawrence’s acting career

MKR fans have had mixed reactions to discovering that Lawrence is an actor.

Some assumed that — given his career history — he was a producer plant on the show.

“It’s pretty bad now to know that these so-called TV competition shows could all be rigged with some of them being actors to increase the shows viewing and writing interesting storylines in them. Very disappointing,” one person wrote.

However, others say that just because Lawrence is an actor doesn’t mean he can’t be an aspiring cook, too.

“Who cares? Every person around that table has a job, I’m sure. He just happens to be a small-time actor and has been for a while. He has probably been in many ads and shows as a background fill-in, but no one noticed until now,” a user wrote.

Watch MKR on Mondays and Tuesdays at 7.30 pm on 7 and 7plus.
