Samara Weaving Bio
Samara Weaving was born in Adelaide, South Australia on February 23rd, 1992. She was a teenager for the next several years, shifting from Singapore, Fiji and Indonesia to Australia with her family. During that time, she was a student at the grade school in Jakarta, Indonesia, eventually attending Pittwater House School in Australia in 2004 before enrolling in the Canberra Girls Grammar School. It's no surprise that she has spent many hours performing in stage productions, short films, and dance. She was also a part of the Singapore Dance Company, Canberra Youth Theatre as well as other theatre groups. In 2008, she was cast as Kirsten Mulroney on the BBC series, Out of the Blue (2008). Although it was only for a single season it was comprised of 129 episodes, including Samara playing in 48 episodes. The exposure brought her to her next big gig, as Indi Walker in the Australian soap opera Home and Away (1988) in which she was featured in over 300 episodes. Even with all that achievement, family connections are not a bad thing. Samara has been able to secure her first major part in Mystery Road (2013), which starred Hugo Weaving, her uncle. After that she was able to appear in the 2015 TV film Squirrel Boys (2015) and followed that up in a big way by playing a major role in 2015's Monster Trucks (2016) alongside famous actors such as Rob Lowe and Danny Glover. Samara also appears in commercials for Australian underwear brand, Bonds.
