Australian actor portrays the death of a whale in graphic campaign for Sea Shepherd

Australian actor David Field, who has starred in Chopper, Two Hands, The Inbetweeners 2 and Catching Milat as well as Oak’s ‘Kill Hungry Thirsty Dead’ campaign, takes on the role of a hunted whale, acting out the whale’s struggle after being pursed to the point of exhaustion and then shot with a harpoon.

At the end of the video he reappears in a Sea Shepherd shirt and pledges his allegiance to the cause.
