Shane Emmett is an award winning Australian actor. But who isn't right? Sure he has won international awards such as Tropfest New York, Edinburgh FF and Inside Film, winning Best International Actor at the Belgium Move Me FF in 2019. Sure he has starred in numerous Australian television series over the past two decades and shared the stage with some of the biggest names in Australian theatre. But there is far more to this man than thespian thaumaturgy.
He has built two houses with his bare hands for instance, raised three beautiful daughters, wrote and performed a one man stage show 'From Here to Eternity', published a young adult fiction series 'Obscura', created an award winning feature documentary in 2020 'Lost in the Crowd' and continues to sing cabaret shows to packed out theaters in weird and wonderful country towns.
As a presenter he has worked extensively on live television and interviewed actors such as Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell and conversely as an actor has been interviewed by personalities such as Ronan Keating, Adam Hills and Larry Emdur. He has received awards from Hollywood royalty such as Julianne Moore and Billy Cruddup who clearly think he is pretty good, that he is the most interesting guy in the room.
Well he is.
