Daniel Wyllie
Daniel Wyllie is an Australian stage, film, and television actor. Wyllie began acting in theatre.
Wyllie grew up on Sydney's North Shore. He attended North Sydney Demonstration School and North Sydney Boys High School where he studied drama at high school and undertook drama classes on weekends.
Upon graduating from high school, Wyllie attended the University of New South Wales, where he studied an arts degree for two years, but did not complete the course. While at university, he took part in amateur productions with the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP), and while his involvement led to professional work, Wyllie considers himself untrained and never considered himself an actor until he was in his late 20s.
After university, Wyllie moved to Sydney's eastern suburbs.
At the age of 18, Wyllie was involved in a car accident which knocked out his front four teeth and left him with a scarred mouth.
Wyllie began his career in theatre. While still at university, and performing in amateur theatre with ATYP, an agent put out a call, looking to cast adolescent parts for 1991 film Spotswood. This saw him land his first screen acting role, alongside Anthony Hopkins, Ben Mendelsohn, Russell Crowe, and Toni Collette. The following year, he played neo-Nazi skinhead Cackles in Romper Stomper alongside Crowe, who got Wyllie his first agent.
He appeared opposite Toni Collette (whom he counts as a close friend) again, in two more films – comedy-drama Muriel's Wedding (1994) and Così (1996) based on the play by Louis Nowra, the latter film also reuniting him with Ben Mendelsohn. From there, he had roles in 1998 American war epic The Thin Red Line, 1999 Jane Campion independent romantic comedy-drama Holy Smoke!, opposite Kate Winslet and Harvey Keitel and 2000 crime drama Chopper alongside Eric Bana.
Wyllie continued to work in theatre, originating the role of Fish Lamb in the landmark production of Cloudstreet, based on the novel by Tim Winton, which toured both nationally and internationally in 1998, 1999 and 2001.
