Abe Forsythe

Abe Forsythe (born Abraham Forsythe on 26 July 1981) is an Australian multi‑talented film and television professional known for his work as an actor, director, writer, and producer. Growing up as the son of acclaimed entertainer Drew Forsythe, Abe was immersed in the performing arts from an early age, which laid the foundation for a career that would span over two decades. He first broke into the industry with a role on the children’s series The Miraculous Mellops before gaining broader recognition as Campbell Todd on the popular drama Always Greener. His early oeuvre also includes a starring turn in the mini‑series Marking Time and the self‑directed feature Ned (2003), showcasing his willingness to blend acting with behind‑the‑camera responsibilities.

Beyond mainstream television, Forsythe has cultivated a reputation on the Australian short‑film circuit, earning accolades at Tropfest for both Being Carl Williams (2009) and the award‑winning Shock (2010). He continued to diversify his portfolio with roles in iconic series such as Blue Heelers, All Saints, and Blue Water High, while also directing the second season of the cult comedy series Laid. In 2012 he portrayed media mogul John Cornell in the acclaimed mini‑series Howzat! Kerry Packer's War, and later tackled socially charged topics with the black comedy Down Under (2016), which sparked considerable controversy. His 2019 horror‑comedy Little Monsters, starring Lupita Nyong’o and Josh Gad, premiered at Sundance, cementing his status as an international filmmaker. Most recently, he was slated to helm RoboCop Returns, marking his entry into a major franchise and underscoring a career defined by versatility, bold storytelling, and a commitment to both Australian and global audiences.
