Such a pleasure and privilege working with Time+Tide Watches for their new Longines video feature.
They’ve only had Michael Clarke and Monika Radulovic host their videos before me, so I’m feeling pretty fortunate to be in that kind of company.
As an actor, filming this was so creatively satisfying too. Loved it. Check it out below and click here to see more.

Don’t know about “beautiful mind” (thank you…), but this interview was hella fun.
Tony Awards, food obsession, music VS acting, fighting fears, Shrek similarities (..?), first dates and more. Just your standard topics of convo.
Thanks Kara Bertoncini and The AU Review crew. Click the pic to read.

Daily Telegraph with these two, in an ace article about Hayes Theatre.
Man… I loved doing Violet so much. It was a game-changer and a rare kind of experience that I’ll always treasure.

Great chatting with Dubbo Weekender ahead of my appearance in Coonabarabran tomorrow for R U OK?.
I know firsthand what it’s like to be bullied, go through some serious lows and battle suicidal thoughts.

The largest production of Hairspray ever staged on the planet officially opened in Brisbane last month! And man, what a phenomenal time it was.
I feel incredibly blessed to be part of something so much bigger than myself. A story that places value on and uplifts people, no matter who you are or where you’re from.
Big love to the whole team! So grateful to be doing what I love and living my dream. Here are a few snaps from our Brisbane season.

I get to have the iconic Christine Anu play my mom. Love our convos.

No caption needed :p.
Seeing our set for the first time. How incredible does it look?! Wowsers…
Dressing room selfies. Have to be done.

Big love for these guys.

Was a pleasure sitting down with Sydney Hills Living.
No questions were out of bounds. I remember the journalist, Di Bartok, being surprised by that, saying quite a few folks would have their people send through a note saying, “You can’t ask about this…”. I think interviews are best when they’re just natural and genuine, like a real conversation.
If you live out Sydney ways, pick up this month’s copy. I apologize in advance for any rambling :p.

When I said yes to Violet, never had I imagined it would become one of the most fulfilling, special experiences of my life.
Beyond the blood, sweat and tears – being stretched way passed where I thought I could go – I’ve been nothing but championed and encouraged by an incredible bunch of people who quickly became like family.
Special thanks to Mitchell Butel and Blue Saint Productions for taking a chance on this musical theatre rookie! Words can’t encapsulate my gratitude and I honestly couldn’t be happier that Violet was my first.
Love you all, here’s to making more memories in Melbourne.
