Why Crowie?

Can anyone tell me why Craig Alexander is called Crowie? It doesn’t seem to be obvious from his name and as far as I know he hasn’t had an affair with the star of Gladiator. So where does his nickname originate from?

B/C he looks like a character from Baywatch.

Jeez, that’s what a call a quick response, especially to have included the link! Cheers, Mate.

Baywatch? WTF?

The original crowie was never in baywatch.

You don’t know your Baywatch very well…

he was named after a surf ironman Named jonathan Crow,He was part of Uncle Toby’s surf Ironman Life saving series televised in Aussie home’s in summer for at least 9 years,it was the lead up to the F1 triathlon series.It is not a very valid nick name outside of OZ!!

Yes, and he was in an episode or two of Baywatch when they were doing some lifeguard competitions as was Craig Hummer…
