Born in London, Oliver worked from a very young age as an actor and model in numerous print media, television commercials and music videos. Upon relocating with his family to Australia in his teens, Oliver became interested in theatre and film. As an actor, he appeared in some of Australia's most beloved programs such as "Neighbours" and "Blue Heelers" whilst still in high school and after completing his Performing Arts degree at Monash University, Oliver took on the iconic role of "Alex" in an acclaimed production of Anthony Burgess', "A Clockwork Orange" at Chapel Off Chapel in Melbourne. This success spurred him on to pen plays of his own, the comedies "Creation" and "Conversation With An Angel", which he also produced and directed. Oliver returned to London to hone his craft and performed in a series of plays at the Young Vic as well as directing and producing his first film, "Kismet". Upon taking up residence in Los Angeles, Oliver continued to make films and perform in the theatre, teaming up with legendary actor/playwright Steven Berkoff for "Six Actors In Search Of A Director" at the Odyssey Theatre, directing Berkoff in "Eat Dollink!" and also John Rhys-Davies in "Smokin'". Oliver returned to the theatre and to Australia to direct and produce the acclaimed one woman show, "Matriarch" with First Nation's artist Sandy Greenwood. The show received multiple awards and completed a successful national tour. Oliver lives in Los Angeles, California.
