Michael Theo among top 10 rising stars of 2024

·

The Casting Guild Association’s Rising Stars for 2024 have been announced, according to an article by The Daily Telegraph. Among the 10 of the country’s best and brightest on screen and stage is Michael Theo.

The awards have a strong track record of identifying Australian talent who are truly on the cusp of greatness.

Thirty-year-old Michael Theo is an aspiring actor and voice-over artist from West Wollongong, NSW.

Recently, he played a leading role in the eight-part ABC comedy Austin and was also the breakout star of the ABC/Northern Pictures documentary series Love on the Spectrum, which followed Michael and other young adults on the autism spectrum as they explored the unpredictable world of love, dating, and relationships.

“I feel very proud and honoured to be named a CGA Rising Star. It is quite a milestone and an impressive accomplishment,” he said to The D, mentioning that he first got his big break back in 2019 with Love on the Spectrum, a documentary about people on the autism spectrum and their quests for love. Love on the Spectrum then led him to Austin four years later.

“Acting is something I have wanted to do very much since early childhood. I always felt that acting is what I really wanted to do in the future,” he mentioned.

Asked what advice he has received that has helped him along the way, he said, “Some of the advice I have received includes: natural talent can’t be taught; if you know your lines, you won’t have any trouble; find a way that works for you; enjoy your time on set; connecting with the audience is important.”
