Budge was born in Melbourne, Victoria.
Early in his acting career, Budge appeared in a number of Australian television shows, including long-running soap opera Neighbours, children's series Round the Twist, and Shock Jock.
After a few years, Budge transitioned from television to film, making his silver screen debut as Pickles in 2002 sports drama Australian Rules. He has since appeared in a number of Australian films, including western The Proposition (2005) opposite Guy Pearce, war film Kokoda (2006), romantic drama Candy (2006) alongside Heath Ledger and musical comedy drama Bran Nue Dae (2009). For his performance in 2006 film Last Train to Freo, he was nominated by both the Australian Film Institute and the Film Critics Circle of Australia Awards for Best Supporting Actor.
In 2008, Budge was tipped to play AC/DC guitarist Angus Young in a movie about the former AC/DC lead singer Bon Scott. From 2008 to 2009, Budge appeared in several episodes of the television drama East of Everything. He also made an appearance in the World War 2 HBO miniseries The Pacific, which aired in 2010. In 2015, Budge portrayed Cliff Sutton in the World War I miniseries Gallipoli.
In 2019, he played town mayor Mr. Frankly in Mirrah Foulkes’ directorial debut feature film Judy and Punch.
In early 2020, it was announced that Budge had been cast in an undisclosed role in The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime. In March 2021, he walked away from the role due to creative differences, saying that "after recently seeing the first episodes shot over the last year, Amazon has decided to go in another direction with the character I was portraying."
In 2024, Budge starred as Guy Chambers in the Robbie Williams biographical musical drama film Better Man, and as Simpkins in comedy drama film Runt, alongside Jai Courtney and Jack Thompson.
