Steve Cronin

Bio

With a passion for acting deeply rooted from his early days, this talented individual first stepped onto the stage as a child prodigy with the Rockingham Entertainers. However, his path to acting took an unexpected turn as he embarked on a stint in the Royal Australian Air Force, working as an Armament Fitter in an F/A-18 Hornet squadron. As he pursued his studies, completing a Bachelor of Multimedia, the desire to return to the world of entertainment and storytelling grew stronger.

After a few years in the Australian Film Industry, an unforeseen opportunity arose when he moved to Aotearoa to work on the final instalment of the legendary Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Return of the King. Being based in Wellington for two decades, primarily working as a visual effects artist, it was the moments spent in front of the camera that truly left an indelible mark. From mastering horse riding to honing his skills in the art of quick draws, he embraced the collaborative nature of working with fellow creatives, delving into the depths of the human experience through both short and long format productions.
