Mirko Grillini

Mirko Grillini is an actor, writer and director from Bologna, Italy, who settled in Australia in 1992 after more than a year in London. Entertainment first drew him at 16, through modeling in Milan, Florence and London for Italian labels, and by the early 2000s his hospitality work had carried him toward television appearances and cooking stages across Australia. A professional presenting course in 2001, which he took to improve his accent, speech and theatrical ability, led him to acting. He edged into film and television, and in 2009 he took his first part in a major production, appearing in Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Trader. Lead roles in feature films, guest spots in American and Australian series, and a villain in the award-winning series Wanted followed. ReFraction, which he wrote, directed and co-produced in 2015, won two awards.
