Mirko Grillini
Born in Italy, Mirko made Australia home in 1992. His first connection to the entertainment world begins in Italy when he was 16 but the real career pathway started in Australia around 1998 as Chef Presenter. In order to improve his heavily accented English, his presentation skills and theatrical abilities, he committed to an acting school in 2001. That year forged his love and commitment to the industry, initially landing roles in over 30 unpaid short film projects for the first few years after graduation, then eventually being cast in major domestic and international productions such as Narnia, The Leftovers, Wanted, Home and Away, Joe Vs Carole and more. Writing, Directing and Producing was a consequence of his passion for the film and TV industry. In 2016 he wrote produced and directed ReFraction, a multi award winner short film which also represented Mirko’s first directing awards.
Mirko is also very passionate about helping emerging actors understanding not only their craft but the business of being an artist by lecturing University students in Screen Performance & filmmaking skills.
