Craig McLachlan has been portrayed in court as a powerful and angry lead actor who threw tantrums, threatened cast members and physically abused actresses.
On Friday, defence barrister Michael Hodge QC took a defamation trial jury through several incidents in which McLachlan, 56, was alleged to have been furious at supervisor directions, musicians missing cues and fellow actors changing their performances without notice.
"Do you accept that you have a temper and a tendency to get angry easily?" the barrister asked.
