In 1997 he was included in the main cast of the Australian soap opera Home and Away , where he played the lifeguard Vinnie Patterson . Kwanten was on the show for a number of years and thus became a sex symbol. He decided to leave the series in 2002 - shortly after his role got married and became a father.
