12 “Graduating from Melbourne gave me a strong creative network, the confidence and rigour to expect a lot from myself artistically, the ability to create my own work and friends for life.” The highlight of my career to date has been: Playing Nick in MTC’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? The best part about my job is: Constantly meeting and working with new people. During a typical day at work: There isn’t really a ‘typical’ day in the life of an actor. Bad day: You hear from your agent that a job didn’t go your way. Your car breaks down. You curse yourself for ever wanting to be an actor. Good day: Voiceover first thing in the morning. Cycling in the sun to rehearsals for a play that you adore. You see an incredible film that evening which inspires you to write until 3 am. My favourite work gadget is: My awesome rehearsal pants. I feel inspired when: The house lights are going down. In five years’ time, I see myself: Having a stronger professional base. Making more of my own work.
