Kamal Ellis

Kamil Ellis is the young Australian actor who starred in seasons 3-4 of Nowhere Boys.  This was the first time he played a generic role: previously his characters tended to embrace his aboriginal heritage.














Cleverman  (2016-17) sounds like a psycho-slasher, but he is actually the leader of the Dreamtime in a tv series about hairymen (sort of aboriginal Neanderthals) experiencing racism and discrimination in contemporary Australia.  Kamal plays Mungo, a boy who tries to escape capture and ends up being beaten to death.



















Deep Water (2016) is based on the real-life murders and disappearances of gay men near Bondi Beach, Sydney, in the 1980s.  Kamil plays Jason, a boy who hangs out on the beach.

The reality series Bushwacked (2014) sends Kamil and journalists Kayne Tremills and Jordan Walters into the outback in search of Australia's weirdest animals. 





















Dance Academy (2010-13) traces the lives of mean girls and it-boys at Sidney's National Dance Academy (apparently they dance shirtless on occasion).  Kamil appears in 3 episodes as Jayden, a street kid with dancing cred.








In addition to his on-screen acting, Kamil has had a long career as an aboriginal dancer and singer.  His credits include:
Ganang Spirit Dancers
Secret River Sidney Theater
Bangarra Dancers
Koormurri Dreaming 

He's done so much of interest as a kid, I can't wait to see him as an adult.
