Trivia: Moved to Australia with her family at age 7. Made her professional debut at 12 with the Sydney Theatre Company. First film appearance was at age 15 in Blackrock (1996). While in college, worked with refugees at a nearby detention center. Started her own independent theatre company, Ride On Theatre, in 2003. Works as a Serbian translator for theatre and film; in 2008, she translated, adapted and directed the play Fake Porno. Co-wrote and starred in the play The Story of Mary MacLane By Herself, which premiered in Melbourne in 2011.

Trivia: A graduate of Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art, blond, idiosyncratic leading man Hugo Weaving made his feature film debut in the socially conscious low-budget drama The City's Edge (1983), purportedly one of the first Australian films to sympathetically portray the adverse conditions suffered by aborigines. In 1991, Weaving received Best Actor kudos from the Australian Film Institute for his portrayal of a blind photographer in Jocelyn Moorhouse's Proof. In 1994, the actor earned international acclaim playing Tick, a drag queen with a secret, in the cult favorite The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994). The following year, Weaving was involved in another audience pleaser when he lent his voice to play the sheep dog Rex in Babe. Weaving occasionally appears in U.S. television productions, notably the CBS miniseries Dadah Is Death, in which he played opposite Julie Christie and Sarah Jessica Parker. He also continues to work steadily in Australia, in addition to appearing in big-budget Hollywood affairs such as The Matrix, in which he starred as an evil agent opposite Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne. Following his turn in The Matrix with a few low-key romantic comedies (Strange Planet [also 1999] and Russian Doll [2001]), Weaving made a return to big-budgeted special effects extravaganzas with his involvement in director Peter Jackson's enormous adaptation of author J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. For the sequels to The Matrix, Weaving would return with a vengeance; with hundreds of Agent Smith clones sent to stop Neo (Keanu Reeves) from leading the revolution against the machines. An affiliation with another hit sci-fi series emerged when Weaving provided the voice of Megatron in Michael Bay's Transformers (as well as its two sequels), though it was the actor's affecting performance in 2009's Last Ride that earned him a nomination for Best Lead Actor at that year's Australian Film Institute awards. Cast as a dangerous Australian fugitive who flees from the law with his young son in tow, Weaving gave viewers a glimpse of the talent that was often overshadowed in his many larger-than-life roles, though it was his scenery-chewing performance as Johann Schmidt/Red Skull in Captain America: The First Avenger that got him back on the big screen in the U.S. following the disappointment of The Wolfman. Meanwhile, the busy screen veteran prepared for roles in Cloud Atlas (a sprawling sci-fi epic from Tom Tykwer and Andy and Lana Wachowski), and Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy.

Trivia: Dropped out of an engineering degree to pursue a career in acting. Nominated for the 2006 Most Popular New Male Talent Logie Award for his role as Drew Curtis on Home and Away.

Trivia: Began her stand-up comedy career in 2006 when her then-boyfriend signed her up to participate in a Raw Comedy contest in Melbourne; she won best first-time entrant. Became a regular contributor for The Age in 2009. Wrote for and starred in the TV series Laid from 2011 to '12. In 2013, was invited to perform at Montreal's prestigious Just For Laughs Festival. Won the best-show nomination at the 2014 Melbourne International Comedy Festival for her show Let Me Know How It All Works Out.

Trivia: Moved from St Albans in London to Mullaloo, Perth when she was a teenager. Trained by her PE coach as a specialist 800m runner for the 2012 London Olympics. An administrative error, which enrolled her in a journalism course before she became an Australian citizen, meant she had to pull out due to the high overseas student cost. This lead her to enroll in the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). Awarded the inaugural Chris Edmund Scholarship at WAAPA.

Trivia: A mainstay in Australian film for many years, native Aussie Heather Mitchell graced the casts of many of her home country's most acclaimed screen productions, beginning in the early '80s. Throughout her career, she divided her time more or less equally between film and television and appeared several occasions opposite actor Hugo Weaving. Mitchell debuted on Australian television around 1981, but came into her own beginning in the late '80s. Assignments included a bit part as a barmaid in Nadia Tass's comedy Malcolm (1996), a turn as Weaving's mother in Jocelyn Moorhouse's offbeat black comedy Proof (1991), and a small but memorable role as a bridal manager in P.J. Hogan's audience-pleaser Muriel's Wedding (1994). Mitchell then gradually ascended to higher billing in successive projects, tackling supporting roles in Kathryn Millard's period drama Traveling Light (2003) and Greg McLean's natural horror outing Rogue (2008).
