description: "John William Pilbean Goffage MBE, known professionally as Chips Rafferty, was an Australian actor. Called \"the living symbol of the typical Australian\", Rafferty's career stretched from the late 1930s until he died in 1971, and during this time he performed regularly in major Australian feature films such as Wake in Fright, as well as appearing in British and American productions, including The Overlanders and The Sundowners. He appeared in commercials in Britain during the late 1950s, encouraging British emigration to Australia."
