Biography

Isaac Money was born in Perth, Western Australia, to Christine Money, a New Zealand-born teacher, and Gavin Money, a Kenyan-born accountant of British and South African descent. One of six children, Isaac grew up in a lively and creative household, where artistic expression was encouraged from a young age. Surrounded by music, dance, and storytelling, he naturally gravitated towards the performing arts. At just nine years old, he discovered a passion for acting, making his stage debut in local theatre productions that helped shape his craft. His first major on-screen appearance came with the award-winning short film The Billabong (2010), marking the beginning of a promising career in film and television. In his home country, he built a solid foundation with roles in feature films such as Son of a Gun (2014) and Pinch (2015), as well as in popular television productions including Prank Patrol (2009), Cloudstreet (2011), and the historical docudrama The War That Changed Us (2014). In addition to acting, Isaac honed his skills as a dancer, earning an Advanced Diploma in Performing Arts. His versatility led him to high-profile stage performances, including a national tour with acclaimed Australian artist Guy Sebastian, where he performed as part of the show alongside Taylor Swift in her Red Tour. At 18, Isaac made the bold move to London to expand his career on an international scale. His dynamic physical performance in FRMTN's music video 'A Friend' garnered widespread attention, setting the stage for further opportunities in film and television. In 2017, he starred in the critically acclaimed feature Cat Skin (2017), which won awards and reinforced his reputation as a compelling screen presence. Since then, Isaac has continued to build an impressive resume, appearing in the short film Mortal (2019), starring in the psychological thriller The Passenger, and portraying James in the Amazon Prime series The Devil's Hour (2022), opposite Peter Capaldi and Jessica Raine. That same year, he showcased his comedic talents in David Walliams' Sky TV special Red Riding Hood: After Ever After (2022). In 2025, Isaac made his debut as a writer-director with his film Marloo (2026), - a powerful and unflinching exploration of sexual abuse within the entertainment industry. The film marks a bold new chapter in his career, blending his experience in front of the camera with a deeply personal and socially conscious storytelling vision.
