Eldon is a full-time public servant, part-time goblin and lapsed actor. In his spare time, he enjoys gaming, visiting wineries, seeing live music and reading sci-fi. After years of doing boring stuff like moving back to Melbourne, completing a Masters and focusing on his career, he is dipping his toe back into the theatre scene. Coming mainly from a background in university musicals and revue comedy shows, he hopes to bring something weird and different to the drama stage. Thank you to Wit Incorporated for offering him the first Asian role/s he's played since Shang in the grade 6 production of Mulan.
