Now based in Sydney, Amos was raised in the alpine bush of rural NSW without electricity or running water by homeschooling parents. With limited opportunities for creative development, he discovered performance at age 10 by way of music when he haggled himself into singing lessons with a singing teacher who, serendipitously, was enjoying a brief stay in a town nearby. After attending only a few lessons, the cat was out of the bag and Amos spent the rest of his childhood throwing himself into every creative practice that he could find—most notably ballet, tap, singing, and theatre (both musical and orthodox).
When he reached Year 11, Amos received a scholarship to complete his final two years of high school at The McDonald College in their Musical Theatre program, moving by himself to Sydney (a comically deep-end introduction to independent living). However, after completing his education, a dance injury made the dream of post-school musical theatre auditions impossible, and Amos decided to reinvent himself as an organic chemist, taking a hiatus from performance until ACA’s Foundation Program relit the flame for acting in 2022, which led to him joining the full-time degree program the following year.
During his time at ACA, Amos was fortunate enough to play a slew of rousing roles including Don in Don’s Party, Tesman in Hedda Gabler, Ross/Fleance in Macbeth, Woyzeck in States of Decay, Frankie in A Lie of the Mind, and Harry/Colin in Saved.
Amos is extremely grateful for his eye-opening journey through Actors Centre Australia and is overjoyed and humbled to be amongst a generation of globally aware and quintessentially Australian artists who have the privilege of standing on the shoulders of the giants of yesteryear.
Having successfully pitched to New Theatre to remount ACA’s production of A Lie of the Mind in January 2026, Amos is thrilled to reprise the role of Frankie alongside his fellow graduates.
Amos will also be joining Bell Shakespeare’s learning ensemble, The Players in 2026.
