‘A lot of people sometimes forget that I had played Con on Heartbreak High and then it’s actually their parents that go “isn’t that (Con) what the?”,’ he admitted.
The entertainer is also an acting coach, guiding aspiring actors in techniques, auditioning skills, and character development.
During his Morning Show appearance, Salvatore reflected on the legacy of Heartbreak High, which celebrates its 30-year anniversary.
Heartbreak High was a teenage soap opera set in Sydney that aired on Channel 10 and the ABC between 1994 and 1999 and became a cultural phenomenon.

Reflecting on the show’s success, Salvatore said: ‘I just thought it was another audition, a little role… and then boom, it exploded.’
‘We couldn’t go anywhere. We were bombarded everywhere we went. It was just really a surreal feeling,’ he admitted.
The series has since been rebooted for Netflix as an Australian comedy drama series.
Beyond Heartbreak High, Salvatore boasts a lengthy array of credits, including roles in Home and Away, Underbelly: The Golden Mile, East West 101, and Shirley Barrett’s comedy film Walk the Talk.
