Louis Sutherland

Actor

After graduating from Toi Whakaari: New Zealand Drama School in 2004 Louis was fortunate to perform in many award wining works. He then branched out into writing and directing and found international success with short films Run and The Six Dollar Fifty Man, and feature film Shopping.

His films have been screened at many festivals around the world including Cannes and Sundance, and the Berlin International Film Festival where Shopping won the prestigious Grand Prix. Ever since Louis has been in high demand as a director creating work for commercial clients including McDonalds; Ikea and HSBC.

After a guest starring in cult hit Wellington Paranormal recently, Louis once again caught the performance bug and is looking to spend more time in front of the camera. Known for his grounded and authentic approach, Louis is a versatile performer who brings equal skill and commitment to both comedy and drama roles.
