Anthony Phelan grew up in Northern Queensland, and has enjoyed a varied career across film, television and theatre.
Screen projects include Wanted Series 1 & 2, the series Seven Types of Ambiguity for ABC Australia, The Kettering Incident, Deep Water, Gallipoli, Rake, Spirited; Top of the Lake, directed by Jane Campion and the feature Unbroken, directed by Angelina Jolie.
Anthony has over 100 theatre credits. For Belvoir Theatre these include The Laramie Project, Hamlet, Once in Royal David's City, Mother Courage and Her Children, Twelfth Night and The Wild Duck (including Melbourne, Perth, Vienna, Amsterdam and Oslo tours.) Anthony was awarded the 2011 Helpmann Award and the 2011 Sydney Theatre Award for his work in this play.
Other theatre credits include, for The Sydney Theatre Company, Uncle Vanya, (Sydney, New York and Washington D.C.) and for The Bell Shakespeare Company, the National tour of King Lear playing the Duke of Cornwall.
In August/September Anthony returns to the stage in the Queensland Theatre Company's production of Boy Swallows Universe. The stage play by Tim McGarry is adapted from the smash hit novel inspired by Brisbane author Trent Dalton's own childhood. "It's an exhilarating story of magic and madness, of beauty and brutality, of joy and heartbreak, and of the power of love to triumph over the darkest of circumstances".
It's always a treat to catch up with Anthony and in this episode of STAGES he recounts how the grandson of a Queensland Cane Cutter became one the country's most dependable, engaging and finest actors.
