# Troy Honeysett

Troy Honeysett is an Australian actor. He is also known for his time with Australian Dance Theatre and his "ferocious athleticism" on stage. Honeysett is a graduate from the National Institute of Dramatic Art, Sydney, Australia, and Te Whaea, Wellington, New Zealand. He is the face of Builders Academy Australia.

## Background

Honeysett made his American feature film debut in Universal Pictures' Hard Target 2 (released Sept 2016). His most recent performance is in Australian cinema release The Combination: Redemption (premiered Feb 2019). He has been credited in productions by Australian companies Pinchgut Opera, Theatre of Image, Bell Shakespeare, Opera Australia; and various other screen roles.
Honeysett was born in Alice Springs, Northern Territory and began classical ballet later in life, having proven himself a proficient gymnast and international martial arts competitor. He became a Principal dancer with Australian Dance Theatre (ADT), and during this time toured full-length contemporary dance works throughout Europe, The United States and Japan. Honeysett left ADT to attend the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) to pursue acting.
Honeysett plays action-hero "Bob the Builder" in an advertising campaign from Builders Academy Australia – the first television release was banned from free-to-air broadcast for "glamourising unsafe workplace behaviour".
Other screen appearances include ABC Television's Artscape documentary series – Artists at Work and The Making of Collision Course. He appeared in Seasons Two and Three of reality-television series So You Think You Can Dance Australia, with Guest Performances and Choreography by Australian Dance Theatre. Honeysett was first seen on screen in The Man from Snowy River: Arena Spectacular (film).
Honeysett is a stage and screen movement director, stunt advisor, coach, educator, and dramaturg.
