As an actor you might recognise him as the owner of an intergalactic space agency in ABC's sci-fi comedy Trip For Biscuits, the bad 2IC cop in Cleverman and in international indie feature Project Eden, and if that guy wasn’t bad enough he also played Terrorist #1 in indie feature Embedded. That's right, terrorist roles lead to larger terrorist roles which lead to great lead roles... right? Pre-pandemic, he played lead journo Jeremy Clay in CH10/BBC’s The Secrets She Keeps, where he revealed all the secrets… she keeps. He also appeared in outback period western The Furnace. Post-pandemic, he can be seen in rom-com Sit. Stay. Love. aka The Dog Days of Christmas, and sci-fi Risen. You also may have seen him in a five ad campaign breaking up with his Mac for HP computers, boogeying with a Ram in a Rams commercial, singing to a horse for TAB or repairing cars for Allianz.
Since completing drama school at the Actors Centre Australia in 2014, he’s appeared in over a dozen stage productions and been nominated for two Sydney Theatre Awards for his work in Stupid F$@king Bird at New Theatre for Best Male Actor in a Lead Role in 2018 and Omar + Dawn at Kings Cross Theatre for Best Male Actor in a Supporting Lead Role in 2019. This year he made his post-covid Belvoir debut in Stop Girl by Sally Sara.
Why filmmaking? Well, after many years of child labour as the family videographer he decided to get a Bachelor of Film from Griffith Film School. Now he refers his family to his website for rates… and they refer him… to Allah.
Since then, he’s co-produced indie feature film 500 Miles, through his company Performance Pictures, and he's also written, produced and directed a number of shorts including He’s ISIS which has screened at numerous festivals and won several awards including ‘Best Performance’ at the Reel Comedy Fest in Chicago. Most recently his Screen Australia commissioned audio series Golden Boy won the 2021 ScreenCraft Podcast Competition..
