Australian Actor Tom Pelik, the co-creator of ‘Chocolate Face’, written and directed by Trent Atkinson has just won a place in the 2009 Short + Sweet Gala Final, playing at the Seymore Centre, 20th and 21st of Febraury.
As part of the finale Pelik is shooting a documentary for broadcast on Movie Extra giving insight into the intensely crazy process that is Short and Sweet.
Pelik first caught our eye when he was cast as boyfriend Nick in the 2007 Joanne Lees: Murder in the Outback starring Bryan Brown and Densie Roberts.
The busy actor has also been cast in the much anticipated Australian War movie ‘Line in the Sand‘, due for release next year and has just secured the lead role opposite well known (Poland born) Australian actress Gosia Dobrowolska in the short film production, ‘Defect’.
Recently auditioning for the role of Apollo in the remake of the 80′s Hollywood’s ‘Clash of the Titans‘, Pelik waits with baited breath after being quite pleased with his audition. Truly rare for an actor to say, but it is this confidence that will see him do well in this industry.
After meeting Pelik at a Business of Acting Seminar in Sydney and seeing him perform for US Casting Directors through TVI Actors Studio, I must say he has the strength, intensity and talent, in addition to his hard working, pro-active approach to sustain a solid acting career!
