Though GRANT BOWLER, an Australian native from the famous Bondi Beach, has an impressive list of overseas feature and TV credits, he has his American feature debut in "The Fall of Night". How American directors missed this acting treasure from "down under" till now is truly a mystery. Grant has had leading roles in overseas features like: "Calling Jerry Malloy", "Ned", "Close Contact", and "Change of Heart".
U.S. TV credits include the recurring role of Captain Gault "Lost" and Connor Owen on "Ugly Betty". Overseas TV credits include being a series regular on: "Outrageous Fortune", "All Saints", "Always Greener", "Medivac", and Blue Healers". For three seasons was the host of reality show "The Mole".
Grant also has extensive stage experience with both contemporary plays and Shakespeare. And yes, he does both an American and an Aussie accent flawlessly.
As his part of Host on "The Mole", and his picture above would suggest, Grant is a hard one to read. So, he's ideal for the wily, sly, and inimidating Harry. And indeed Grant turns in a first rate performance of a character that is hard to shake from your mind, even after the film is over.
"Independent films are at their best, and fulfill their charter, when they are unafraid to offer a view, or a moral standpoint, lacking in films more concerned with their bottom line. The Fall of Night is a courageous film. It dares to offer a clear moral universe, asking its characters to answer the big questions, about life, redemption, right & wrong. What I liked most about playing Harry was that he is a reasonable man. He offers all the solutions and consequences that reason offers."
Grant's agent is Don Buchwald & Associates.
