Bio
Aidan graduated in 2018 from Otago University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree: Majoring in Theatre, in 2019 he completed a Diploma in Acting at Auckland’s leading screen-based drama school The Actors Program.
Aidan was subsequently cast in Auckland Theatre Companies production of The Miracle Worker, playing the role of James Kellar. The production was cancelled during rehearsals due to Covid lockdowns. ATC is New Zealand’s leading theatre company and Aidan was next cast in the hugely successful The Haka Party Incident written and directed by Katie Wolfe, enjoying sellout crowds at the ASB Waterfront Theatre Auckland (2021), Te Pau Theatre (2023) followed by a national tour finishing in Christchurch for the Court Theatre at the end of the year.
In 2019 Aidan landed the role of Young Dave in the Mediaworks Comedy series Golden Boy followed by a major guest role on New Zealand’s leading drama series Shortland Street playing the role of trainee doctor Parker Dawson.
When Aidan isn't acting, you may find him painted in dirt, wandering the farm or a moody beach or perhaps swinging from the top of a tree writing poems and silly skits in his mind.
