ACTOR - FILM, TV & THEATRE
My name is Lachlan and I'm an Australian Actor.
Where it all started:
The year was 2010. It was the 'Yr 10 Drama Student's End of Semester Play' at St Laurences College. A young, 14yr old me jumped onto the stage adorning a colander on head and an imaginary sword in hand. Charging into battle with a dramatic, self vocalisation of Indiana Johns' 'The Raiders March'.
"Dun, da dun duunn, dun da dun!"
This was my first role on the stage as Alistair in Morris Gleitzman's 'Two Weeks With the Queen'. A totally improvised solo action performance followed - forgetting entirely any existence of my monologue. It didn't matter, when I walked off that stage after "curtain", after all the laughter and applause, I had caught the acting bug and that was that.
I haven't looked back since.
My Training & Work
I studied for two and a half years at a theatrical conservatoire acting training program in Brisbane, then traveled all around the globe to study under some brilliant teachers. The journey took me to Tom McSweeney at The Warehouse Workshop on the Gold Coast, across international waters to Massachusetts, USA for Shakespeare and Company's Actor Training Winter Intensive; I flew to the Orkney Islands of Scotland to learn from Kristin Linklater; Lived in Melbourne & studied under Iain Sinclair at 16th Street Actors Studio; to Sydney for the Les Chantery Studio and Finally back home. Even participated in Larry Moss' Masterclass in Brisbane.
I toured educational plays through schools along the east coast of Australia too. This was with Brainstorm Productions. 2 years - performing to an estimated 200,000 high school students during that time. I starred as the lead in a Webseries 'Two Weeks' which reached well over 2 million views on YouTube. I've performed in Short films, Proof Of Concept Films, Independent Feature Films, Plays & even voiced an animated character on the Pilot of a children's show.
I write a weekly, free, educational blog for actors new and old. I fill it with practical & simple tips with one goal. To demystify. I talk on many topics including: How to REVIEW your own work; how to PRIME your brain effectively; how to PRACTICE acting; what qualities make an effective acting TEACHER & much, much more.
