He studied drama at Flinders University and began his career in Australian theatre and television before achieving international breakout success as the vampire Riley Biers in the blockbuster The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010). Known for his chameleon-like ability to tackle diverse genres, he has starred in the cult horror favorite The Loved Ones (2009), the war film Fury (2014) alongside Brad Pitt, and the Jane Austen adaptation Love & Friendship (2016). In recent years, he has drawn critical acclaim for his portrayals of real-life figures in major biopics, playing guitarist Scotty Moore in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis (2022) and Cass Chaplin in the Netflix film Blonde (2022). In the 2025 Netflix romantic comedy Champagne Problems, he plays Ryan Garner, a dashing rival figure who adds a layer of complication to the film’s central romance.
