Brenton Prince was born in Newcastle NSW and grew up surfing the city's reef and beach breaks. He started playing Rugby League at the age of 8 and would later become a junior Newcastle representative footballer with a promising future in the sport. After a few setbacks which resulted in a "lack of passion" for the game his mother suggested he should have a try at acting. After reluctantly attending a NIDA touring workshop it was during this where he caught the acting bug and set out to pursue a career as a professional actor. He joined an amateur theatre group in Sydney which performed various plays in and around the city where his passion for performing grew. Looking to further his training and enhance his craft, Brenton applied for a 2 year intense acting program at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City and was accepted. After graduating in 2010 Brenton returned home to Sydney and has been working as a professional actor since. His most noted role to date was playing Jay Gatsby's head security guard in Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby". Hide
