AFTER seven years establishing himself in Hollywood, former Home and Away actor Ryan Kwanten is back home to voice a character in the animated feature Guardians of Ga'Hoole.

Kwanten arrived in Australia a week ago and went straight to work in a sound booth at Sydney-based production firm Animal Logic, the masterminds behind the Academy Award-winning hit Happy Feet.

The 32-year-old says he'll be in good company when the movie, about a young barn owl and his friends attempting to escape the evil clutches of a band of rogue owls, is released in 2010, with Hugh Jackman and Hugo Weaving excepted to lend their voices to the film.
