In 2005, he announced that he was leaving the show to pursue other opportunities in the USA. His character, Nick Ryan was supposedly killed in a plane crash.

Pollard has also had roles on the television shows Wildside, Invincible, Godzilla, Home and Away, All Saints, and Double Trouble. After his first job, on Wildside, he toured with Bell Shakespeare in a version of Romeo and Juliet that explored themes of racism in Australia.
