Early life
Growing up along the Sydney coastline, Melvey attended Waverley College, graduating in 1986.
Melvey was a keen swimmer from the age of five, competing in local beach and surf swimming carnivals and volunteering as a lifeguard for 10 years.
He left the series to take on a lead theatre role in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, beginning at the Sydney Opera House. He played Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Titus and the 33 of Shakespeare’s other leading men. The show toured Australia in 2001. However, Melvey returned to Days for a short stint in late 2004, which Australian viewers were able to see.
