Biography

Geoffrey Austin Newland grew up in a hotel in Hawick, Scotland; "a strange experience of being alone whilst surrounded by strangers." His parents separated when he was 6 and Geoffrey remained with his father who suffered from bipolar disorder and alcoholism. As an only child, he's quoted as saying he disappeared into his own world to escape a very unstable and often threatening home-life.

Geoffrey attended boarding school for 12 years (aged 6 - 18), studied law at University qualifying as a Barrister before traveling the world for over 2 years. While travelling Geoffrey's father passed, a "traumatic and liberating experience," inspiring him to pursue his dream of becoming a professional actor. He graduated from the prestigious Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute (New York).

Geoffrey Austin Newland is best know for 28 Years Later (Danny Boyle), The Franchise (Sam Mendes), Kursk (Thomas Vinterberg), Outlander, A Kind of Spark, BBC1's Spooks, Starz Da Vinci's Demons, Coronation Street, the RSC and his podcast Night Falls.Geoffrey now lives in Camden where he is the father of 3. He's vegan, does not drink alcohol and practices Advaita Vedanta.
