Riley Austin(I)
- Actor
Riley Austin is an Australian actor born and raised in Western Sydney.
It was at the age of 7 that he discovered his love for acting and filmmaking after witnessing the late, great Heath Ledger on screen as the Joker in The Dark Knight and it was from here that his passion and commitment to impressions, embodying a character and understanding physical behaviour began to develop.
Over the many years since then Riley has devoted himself to learning as much as he can about acting and all the other pieces that make up the puzzle of filmmaking, seeking advice and knowledge from the greats of an industry he deeply respects and admires.
Despite his warm and friendly nature in life, Riley is never one to shy away from the characters that finds themselves occupying space in the darker sides of humanity, be that internally or externally, and is passionate about championing stories that explore the complexities of family dynamics, fear (and how it influences/shapes us on an individual + societal level) and finding connection in the most unexpected of places/people.
He hopes that through his contribution to these stories that he can positively impact the lives of others and allow them to face their own internal battles with courage as well as having more empathy for the experiences and struggles of others.
