Samara Weaving Bio

Samara Weaving was born on February 23rd 1992 in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia, but was a part of the time moving around from Singapore, Fiji, Indonesia and then back to Australia with her family. She attended grade school in Jakarta in Indonesia before going to Pittwater House School in Australia. In 2004, she enrolled in the Canberra Girls Grammar School. With such hectic moving around it's no surprise that the actress spent a lot of time along the way performing in short film, dance and stage productions, including the Singapore Dance Company and Canberra Youth Theatre. In 2008, she was cast as Kirsten Mulroney, an episode of the BBC series. Although it was only one season, it was the capacity of 129 episodes. Samara appeared in 48 episodes. This kind of exposure led to her next big gig as Indi Walker on the Australian soap series Home and Away (1988) the show in which she would star in over 300 episodes. In spite of all that achievement, family connections are always a good thing. After leaving Home and Away (1988) in 2013, Samara landed her first feature part in Mystery Road (2013) a film that starred her famous uncle Hugo Weaving. Then, she starred in the TV film Squirrel Boys (2015), and she followed that up with a role that was prominent in Monster Trucks (2016) (2015) alongside veteran actors Rob Lowe and Danny Glover. Bonds, an Australian underwear brand, also employs Samara as model.
