Hunter McMahon
Originally from Albury Wodonga, Hunter trained extensively in Melbourne before moving to Sydney to study at Theatre Nepean, where he completed a Bachelor of Performance in Acting. Proficient in the Meisner Technique, Hunter refined his craft under acclaimed instructors in Melbourne, Sydney, and Los Angeles.
On stage, he has performed in a diverse range of productions, including Glengarry Glen Ross, Journey’s End, Song of the Yellow Bittern, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, Mamdouh 661, Pericles, The Bebop Apocalypse, and various Short and Sweet productions. Transitioning to screen, Hunter has appeared in projects such as Lex and Rory, Kokoda, Cedar Boys, All Saints, A Place To Call Home, Australia, Road Train, and Flotsam Jetsam.
Hunter’s creative portfolio extends beyond acting, encompassing producing and directing. His theatrical credits include Alive (written and produced with Donald Woodburn and members of Sydney Acting Studio), Fourplay, The Shape of Things, A Single Act, After Dinner, Don’s Party, The 8 Reindeer Monologues, La La Liverpool Line, S for Stanley, Dark of the Moon, Waking Darkly, Waiting for Lefty, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Project Mayhem, Wasted, 12 Angry Jurors, The Glass Menagerie, and Tovarich (directed by Elaine Hudson and Kevin Jackson).
During his four years at the New York Film Academy Sydney, Hunter served as Head of Acting, overseeing the academy’s department, producing major works, and coordinating student graduation packages. After this tenure, he gathered a group of fellow visionaries to form Pale Blue Dot Creative, initially running classes and staging productions across Sydney dance halls and studios.
This venture eventually found its permanent home in Redfern, where it evolved into what is now Sydney Acting Studio.
