He is one of Australia's finest television actors - but rather than retiring comfortably at 65, Peter Phelps is still working an ordinary job more than a decade after he was .

The Daily Mail's exclusive photos show the Logie-winning star of TV classics like Stingers, Baywatch, Underbelly and Blue Murder driving a minibus on Sydney's northern beaches.

Phelps was seen leaving a bus depot last week, wearing a uniform bearing the Transport for logo.

With a large black bag under his arm, he also wore a high-vis vest, a black Sydney Swans cap and a pair of black Ray-Ban sunglasses.

It's understood he drives a minivan used in an on-demand public transport service to reach destinations not on the usual northern beaches bus routes, and also connect passengers to designated transport hubs like the B-Line.

Phelps started his career in the early 1980s, first beaming into Australian lounge rooms in the soap The Restless Years. 

Following its demise in 1981, Phelps was cast in one of his best-known roles as John Palmer in the long-running Reg Grundy soap Sons and Daughters.

Phelps also had a role playing an Australian surfer alongside Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves in the 1991 thriller Point Break.

In 1994, he wrote an autobiography about his adventures trying to make it in Hollywood, called Sex without Madonna: The True Confessions of a Hired Gun in Tinseltown.
