Mojean Aria, a versatile Australian talent, has made a significant mark in the realms of acting, writing, and producing. His journey into the world of performing arts commenced at a remarkably young age, as he enrolled in advanced (adult) classes at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) at the age of fourteen. His dedication and early promise earned him a scholarship to The McDonald College High School of Performing Arts in 2004.
In 2007, Mojean secured a lead role in the feature film “Cross Life,” directed by Claire McCarthy, a project that premiered at the prestigious Sydney Film Festival. Following this success, he made a pivotal decision to expand his horizons and relocated to Los Angeles to explore new opportunities.
A watershed moment in Mojean Aria’s career occurred in 2017 when he clinched the Heath Ledger Scholarship. Notably, he became the first-ever unsigned recipient of this esteemed award, breaking barriers as the first winner from a multicultural background. The distinguished panel of judges, featuring luminaries like Gary Oldman, Naomi Watts, and Ryan Murphy, recognized Mojean’s exceptional talent. The scholarship, supported by influential figures such as the Ledger family, Michelle Williams, Baz Luhrmann, Hugh Jackman, and Nicole Kidman, among others, served as a springboard for his future endeavors.
Post his scholarship triumph, Mojean showcased his acting prowess in various projects, including the limited series “Dead Lucky” alongside Rachel Griffiths and the feature film “Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan,” written and produced by Stuart Beattie. His involvement in Apple TV+’s epic series “SEE” further solidified his standing in the industry, working alongside renowned names like Jason Momoa and under the creative guidance of Steven Knight and Francis Lawrence.
Notably, 2021 marked Mojean’s villainous turn opposite Hugh Jackman in Warner Brothers’ sci-fi venture “Reminiscence,” a film written and directed by Lisa Joy and produced by industry heavyweights Michael De Luca, Aaron Ryder, and Jonathan Nolan. The anticipation for Mojean’s forthcoming projects continues to build, with the release of “The Enforcer” in 2022, featuring his first starring role in a US studio feature alongside the legendary Antonio Banderas and a stellar supporting cast.
Recently completing production on “Shayda,” where he stars opposite 2022 Cannes Award Winner Zar Emir-Ebrahimi, and with Cate Blanchett and Vincent Sheehan producing, Mojean Aria remains a dynamic force in the entertainment industry, continually pushing boundaries and delivering standout performances.
