1. Blake Stemm (Australia)

From a community stage production of High School Musical to being homeless in Melbourne to a featured extra on Winners and Loser – Blake’s Journey has definitely been a tumultuous one, even up to now his journey continues to challenge and excite him.

He started his career in fitness and promotional modelling, spurned on by a life long love of sports and later, natural body building. Extensive television/film acting courses at respected institutions such as NIDA and the Vox Academy lead to roles in a number of amateur theatre productions and popular television shows including, H20, Terra Nova and The Elephant Princess. Alex recently made his debut as a leading film actor, playing the character of Michael Cox in the Australian short ‘Black and White Lines’, also starring award winning actor, Jeremy Kewley (Janus, Stingers, Underbelly Files). The film has received a rave response here and abroad with Alex’s raw and genuine performance winning him glowing reviews and praise from not only other actors, but directors and the public alike.”

3. Ronn Kurtz (Australia)

Ronn has always wanted to be an actor since he was a little kid and he has been on stage since the age of 3 when he performed in his first musical. Since then his passion and love for the arts, stage, TV and film has quadrupled! He has done a number of short films using his versatility both as a comedic and dramatic performer/artist as well as many TV commercials which he has enjoyed immensely. He is also a voice artist, dancer and he can sing to any tune as well. His favourite theatrical performance to date would have to be when he was chosen as the lead support in GREASE and then he was nominated for a Lyrebird Award. He has been studying at the TAFTA film/TV school for the last 4 years and when he finishes school at the end of this year he is hoping to join 16th Street to better himself in this industry.

4. Angus McColl (Australia)

Born and bred in Margaret River; the ocean is a huge part of Angus’ life and he surfs, swims and dives every day. He discovered acting when he moved to the city of Perth and he has definitely fallen in love and he has not looked back. He feels that it is the thrill, drive and fun that overtakes him when he’s in depth with a character. He has completed protagonist roles with renowned directors in short films and has just recently completed an acting course to refine his acting knowledge. His most notable experience to date is being a part of a Stuart Kilgmore short film which involved controversy and courage – the plot revolves around a school being “shot up” much similar to the “Bowling for columbine” take.
