These series include the Logie — award winning comedy — drama House Husbands which he co-created with Ellie Beaumont.

After five years in the drama department of Australia’Network TEN from 2000-5, Proffitt went on to work on Neighbours, Home and Away, Lockie Leonard, Small Claims, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, Cops, L.A.C.,and the popular Packed to the Rafters.
