Brett’s professional life began worlds away from the rehearsal room, having built a career in Western Australia’s mining industry.
In 2022, he swapped high-vis for theatre blacks, with his debut lead performance in Radium Girls earning him the Finley Award for Best Actor. This marked a turning point and led him to pursue formal training at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Since graduating in 2023, Brett has appeared in several short films and streaming series, including Invisible Boys and The Twelve (Season 3).
He continues to develop his craft at the PAC Advanced Studio and will soon appear in Theatre 180’s Arthur Haynes and the Smoking Gun, alongside Andrew Lewis and Alexandria Henderson.
