At 28, Australian actor Toby Wallace is going places. But he’s looking forward to the day he can just stay put for a while.
Toby Wallace is homeless. “I don’t think I’ve lived anywhere in four or five years,” he says. “As an actor you’re a carny, you’re moving from circus to circus, you’re trying your hardest to hold down some kind of consistency, friends, relationships, everything. I don’t really have a home at the moment.”
“But 99 per cent of the time you’re not really doing that, you’re spending your time moving from job to job, trying to find the things you’re going to do day to day when you’re not working, which is pretty hard. And when you’re on the job, you’reWallace grew up in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs in a family he describes as super academic.
More often than not, he’s played a bad boy. Sometimes the roles are big, sometimes they’re not. But even when he’s only on screen for a few minutes – as in Jeff Nichols’ recently released 1960s motorcycle gang movie“Mate, I don’t know if I’m drawing on bits of myself that are a bit bastardly,” he says, describing his past roles as a litany of “evil characters or characters who are pretty unhinged or malevolent”.
“I’m still enjoying those types of roles. I love playing those roles. All my favourite actors play roles like that.” “One acting coach said it really well: ‘I don’t teach acting, I teach empowerment’. And I agree with that. If you feel empowered in yourself, it probably makes you a better actor, right?”It’s all about getting out of your own way, he says, because no matter how well prepared you might be for any given scene, “on the day, everything’s going to be different”.
