Steve Mouzakis is an Australian film, television and theatre actor. He is known for his role in the Spike Jonze film Where the Wild Things Are, Van Gogh in Prison Break, Steven Ray in the film The Suicide Theory, and performing alongside Joel Edgerton and Sean Harris as Paul in the 2022 film The Stranger.

Education

[edit]

Mouzakis studied Arts and Engineering at university before being accepted into the Victorian College Of The Arts to study acting.[citation needed]

He graduated winning the Irene Mitchell Award for Outstanding Achievement for his portrayal of William Shakespeare's Pericles, in a production directed by George Ogilvie.[citation needed]

Career

[edit]

He was cast in Christos Tsiolkas' Viewing Blue Poles, performed at the Fitzroy Gallery in Melbourne and moving to the Belvoir St. Theatre in Sydney.[1][2]

His first television role came as that of Paolo in The Secret Life of Us. He was next cast by director Jonathan Liebesman in the horror film Darkness Falls released in 2003.[citation needed]

His interest however in smaller and more personal films led to his performances in the short films Mona Lisa and 296 Smith Street. This brought him to the attention of the director Spike Jonze for his adaptation of the children's story Where the Wild Things Are. [citation needed]

Mouzakis has had a number of roles in television series such as Rolf in Very Small Business, Andrew Petrious in The Slap, Chris Baros in Killing Time, Theo Kallergis in Blue Heelers and Paolo in The Secret Life of Us. Other feature film credits include Darkness Falls (Sony Pictures), Big Mamma's Boy, and I, Frankenstein (Lionsgate).[citation needed]

He played Steven Ray in the 2014 film The Suicide Theory.[3]

Mouzakis played Van Gogh as a series regular in the 2017 comeback of the Fox television series Prison Break.[4]

He also appeared in the Tourism Victoria Wander Victoria campaign in 2017 as the face of his home state of Victoria, Australia.[citation needed]
