Moving towards his family members, he was born to his father Peter Thwaites, and his mother Fiona Thwaites. Similarly, she also has a sister named Stacey Thwaites. In terms of his scholastic background, he completed his early education at Cairns State High School, graduating in 2006, and throughout this period, he had no interest in becoming an actor.

He, on the other hand, being the adventurous kind, wanted to attempt new things with his profession, and, at the age of 16, he landed as Romeo in a production of ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ He then enrolled in Queensland University of Technology to study acting before graduating in 2010.

Professional Life and Career

Brenton Thwaites, like many others, began his career in Sydney with soap operas and low-budget indie films. He had already worked in a low-budget independent film named ‘Charge Over You’, which was released in 2010, before graduating from college. Following graduation, he shifted his focus to television series and auditioned for several of them, eventually landing a starring role in ‘Sea Patrol,’ and a short film titled ‘Headsmen’ was also released during his early struggles.

In late 2010, he starred in the Australian adolescent drama series ‘Slide,’ about five teenage males, and this coming-of-age drama series created a rage among the Australian youth. Brenton is one of the new faces to watch in the future, thanks to the success of the series. The show, however, was short-lived and did not receive a second-season renewal. Brenton, on the other hand, got just what he needed: high-level exposure, and landed a job in ‘Home and Away.’

‘Home and Away is one of Australia’s longest-running television shows.  In 2011, Brenton appeared in the 24th season of the show. He played the recurring part of Stu, a tough young guy. Brenton had intended to relocate to Los Angeles about that time, in mid-2011. However, before departing, he acted in the television film ‘Blue Lagoon,’ in which his performance was praised by many and derided by a few.
