Andrew "Drew" Kirk is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Dan Paris.

Three years later, Paris reprised his role and Drew began appearing in Stephanie Scully's (Carla Bonner) dreams.

Shortly after former model Dan Paris made the decision to move into acting, he began asking his agent to send him to castings and Neighbours was the first show he auditioned for.

[6] James Joyce of the Newcastle Herald said Drew was a "suitably spunky rival for established stud Ben, who thinks his boss has shafted him as he recovers from his car accident.

"[5] A writer for the BBC said Drew initially had a hard time adjusting to city life and working for Lou was not an easy task.

[7] Colin Vickery of the Herald Sun noted that once the women of Erinsborough see Drew, their cars "suddenly" start having problems which only he can fix.

"[8] Jason Herbison from Inside Soap observed that Paris shared many similarities with Drew, most notably his loyalty, sense of humour and that they were both from the Australian outback and preferred the outdoors.

[11] Both Drew and Libby worried that a relationship would ruin their good friendship and Paris told an All About Soap writer that the couple's romance started out with them exploiting each other's differences and working out how to deal with each other's likes and dislikes.

[12] Paris explained that Drew was obviously concerned for his fiancée, but when he was told by the doctors that Brendan Bell (Blair Venn) was responsible, he had to confront him.

Paris called the situation "difficult" and said Drew felt helpless as he willed Libby to pull through.

"[13] Libby told Drew that the accident made her re-evaluate her life and she realised that she no longer loved him, therefore she could not go ahead with the wedding.

[13] An Inside Soap columnist observed that Libby's news left Drew "bewildered and devastated.

[14] Herbison confirmed that Drew was to be killed off in a cliffhanger episode, after Paris decided to exit the show to pursue "fresh challenges".

[16] Years later, Paris explained to Andrew Bucklow of News.com.au that his desire to continue travelling around Australia with his partner and spend more time outside the studio were the deciding factors in his departure.

Drew briefly returns as a vision to Stephanie Scully (Carla Bonner) in her dreams to warn her that her cancer is active.

[6] On 18 September 2014, it was confirmed that Paris had reprised his role as Drew to appear in the webisode series Neighbours vs Zombies.

[17][18] Paris was transformed into a zombie with the help of make-up and he was reunited with Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburne who played Drew's in-laws Karl and Susan Kennedy.

[19] For his portrayal of Drew, Paris won Best Aussie Actor at the 2000 Australian Inside Soap Awards.

[20] In June 2002, Drew came fourth in a poll run by Newsround to find viewer's favourite Neighbours character.

[21] Of the character's debut, the Herald Sun's Colin Vickery observed: "Neighbours gets a hunky new resident tomorrow night.

He's virile young mechanic Andrew (Drew) Kirk and Ramsay St's female hearts are in a flutter.

"[22] A Virgin Media contributor included Drew in their feature on "Soap's most tragic deaths", they said "Even if you didn't shed a tear when Neighbours hottie Drew died after falling off his horse in his hometown of Oakey, nothing could have stopped the emotions when his wife Libby sang at his funeral a few days later.
