Michael Plant (1930–1965) was an Australian screenwriter, actor and producer best known for co-creating Whiplash.
According to Filmink "Michael Plant’s career was truly comet-like. An industry professional by the age of 19, a veteran of London, New York and Hollywood by the time he was 30, dead by the age of 35. He had a play on Broadway, TV credits in the US, England and Australia, and was head of the show that revolutionised Australian television. And he never saw 36. It was a remarkable life, awe-inspiring in its achievement, tragic in its brevity."[1]
The Bulletin said on his death in 1965 that Plant "had left as big an impression on Australian viewing habits as any one man in the industry's brief history."[2]
