Biography
Vivacious nature lover Amber Castle has embarked on a varied career in performing since she studied acting full time at the age of 19. She thrived in the dramatic, quirky and interesting space such as drug addict and prostitute Crystal in a professional production of “Tarnished Dreams” and a small, feisty role in the feature film “The Elixer”.
She decided to expand her skills and study at Australian Film and Television Academy with Tony Bonner and Tony Poli (NIDA) as well as drop in classes at The Actors Centre. This led to featured roles in TVCs such as Valvoline and Banana Boat Sunscreen as well as appearances on Cheez TV, SBS, NBN and corporate training videos.
Amber embraced her toothy, energetic and sparkly side as presenter for the national tour of “Barney the Dinosaur” and live shows as host for “Humphrey B Bear”. She spent many years in professional children’s theatre and entertainment before switching careers and working within the zoo industry working with chimpanzees, dolphins and birds of prey as an animal trainer. Each Zoo soon utilised Ambers public speaking skills and she became the show presenter for dolphin & Seal shows as well as managing the zoo entertainment departments.
Amber returned to acting and performing after being offered a place on Season 2 of “Please Marry My Boy” (Seven Network). This reignited her passion for the screen industry.
Amber is looking forward to playing further varied and interesting characters in all areas of the industry as well as utilising her skills in other areas such as salsa/ballroom and Latin dancing; animal handling/training, life coaching and motivational speaking.
