Roy Rene was an Australian comedian and vaudevillian. As the character Mo McCackie, Rene was one of the most well-known and successful Australian comedians of the early 1900s and the local answer to Charlie Chaplin.

Two of his famous catchphrases were 'Don't come the raw prawn with me' (to tell someone not to try and deceive you or misrepresent the situation) and 'Fair suck of the sav' (to indicate incredulity or to let someone know they are not giving others a fair go). These are listed on the statue.
