他在一個小小的內陸小鎮長大,並沒有踏上舞台直到三年去.
現在, 在 24, 科迪·芬已經投中了夢寐以求的主角為澳大利亞國際舞台感的運行 戰馬.
不言而喻,他是高興有登陸夢作用, 但儘管他的養育孤立, 蕨類植物的路徑傳遞到它已經什麼,只是偶然.
他曾兩次出售的一切,他擁有, 推掉了一個利潤豐厚的企業提供工作機會和跟隨他的直覺到總不確定度.
今年, 他抵達悉尼來自西澳大利亞沒有工作, 在家中或在視線的朋友一味地追求他相信什麼,他天生就是做: 法案.
“因為我是大約六,我想成為一名演員,我知道, 但我在一個非常小的鄉村小鎮長大,這只是不是東西,是可能的,” 弗恩說.
“我還是那種掐一下自己,這一切都落入地方. 它是一個令人難以置信的乘坐至今。”
那個小城鎮是南十字, 大約從珀斯400公里內陸, 人口 700. 芬的整個學校, 從年 1-10, 有大約 80 孩子. 他的高級寄宿學校, a further 90-minute drive away, was a little bigger with about 30 in his year level.
Still, not a lot of performing arts courses going on out there, so Fern took the academic route until he could make his break.
With a Bachelor of Commerce and an Honours in Strategic Marketing from Perth’s Curtin University under his belt, Fern knocked back an internship with Ernst and Young and signed on for a nine-month acting course.
His inner sat-nav was finally realigned and it felt so sweetly right.
“I’d wanted to do it my whole life and it was time to do it,” 弗恩說. “When I was at uni I got good grades and went on to do honours, but I kept thinking, ‘I shouldn’t be here’. Something just didn’t feel right.
“When I finished I decided that every decision I make from this day forward will be purely based on intuition and I’m not going to fight that.”
Fast-forward three years and Fern has landed his breakthrough role after a stream of masterclasses, night classes and appearances in plays and short films in Perth and Sydney.
He now joins an ensemble of 33 actors in 戰馬, taking on the lead role of Albert Narracott, the teenager whose beloved horse, Joey, is sold to the cavalry at the outbreak of World War I.
The National Theatre of Great Britain play has astonished audiences in London (pictured inset) and New York, winning five Tony Awards, two Laurence Olivier Awards, and four Outer Critics Circle Awards. It features puppetry by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company.
這將使得其在澳大利亞首映, 與當地的投, 在維多利亞藝術中心在除夕之前去悉尼和布里斯班.
“When I read the script for 戰馬 I was in absolute tatters. 咖啡館裡的女士走過來問我,如果我是OK,” 弗恩說.
“這真的是令人難以置信的巨大動人. 我很興奮,迫不及待地開始. 我試圖把自己關斷,盡可能從戰馬的炒作,只是想, '好, 我打算把重點放在人物和重點故事,集中精力做我必須做的“. 其他的一切都會下雨,因此它不重。”
