He’s the former Home and Away hunk who won hearts as the loveable Casey Braxton in Summer Bay

And on Friday, Lincoln Younes was busy at work filming scenes as nightclub identity John Ibrahim for his new upcoming mini-series Last King of the Cross.

The 30-year-old kept warm in a Nike puffer jacket and blue jeans as he chatted to cast members on set at Sydney’s Botanic Gardens.

He was joined by Kiwi-born Australian actor Callan Mulvey, 47, who also wore a black puffer jacket.

Lincoln wore his luscious thick black hair swept back and relaxed as he took a break from filming.

The 10-part series will tell the story of brothers John and Sam Ibrahim, who were prominent figures in the Kings Cross nightclub district.

The series may also explore key events in John’s life, including surviving a near fatal stabbing and other attempts on his life.

After an exhaustive search spanning almost two years, it’s understood Younes – who is half Australian and half Lebanese – beat out a number of other actors vying to play Ibrahim in the book-turned-mini-series Last King Of The Cross

British actor Tim Roth, who scored an Oscar nomination for the film Rob Roy in 1995, plays fictional crime boss Ezra Shipman on the show.

He replaced Deadwood star Ian McShane, who was originally cast in the role but had to leave the production due to health reasons.

The cast also includes Damian Walshe-Howling (Under­belly), Tess Haubrich (Alien: Covenant) and Matt Nable (Arrow).

Award-winning writer-director Kieran Darcy-Smith will helm the crime-drama.

Sources close to the production say that John Ibrahim – who was ‘very particular’ about who will play him – was impressed with Younes’ acting ability and his similarly dark complexion and light eyes

Ibrahim was born in Tripoli, Lebanon and emigrated to Australia in the early ’70s before making his way in Sydney’s nightlife scene – a rise which will form the backdrop of the upcoming series.
