Darren Jasper
- Actor
Actor, short-film maker and film extra, Darren has a passion for film and the buzz of being on set.
His first feature film role was as Sam Neill's picture double and stand-in, for the character "Colin'', in director/actor Jeremy Sim's film "Rams" (2020).
Darren has since played extra and featured extra roles in Jordon Prince-Wright's independent World War I feature film "Before Dawn" (2024); the 1970s set Australian outback feature film "Kid Snow" (2024), and the Screentime miniseries "The Claremont Murders" (2023).
More recently, he played the character "Sal" in the latest short-film project "Twelve Years" (2023) by filmmaker Alex Lorian, director of "Good for Nothing Blues" (2022) and "Subject 36" (2017). He has also performed extras work in the Stan miniseries "Invisible Boys" (2025), currently in production.
Darren has also been cast in supporting roles for two independent feature films, scheduled for release in 2025. Firstly, in the role of "Wayne", in Director/Writer Brad Newland's latest independent feature film "Remotely Famous (TBC)"; and as "Mick 'Popeye'" (and extras roles) in the film "Frederickstown" by Adam Morris, writer/director of "Edward & Isabella" (2022) and "Frank & Frank (or The Valley and the Walrus: Ruminations on the Mystery from Soup to Nuts)" (2023).
Previous television work includes extras roles in two episodes of the second season of the popular children's series 'ITCH' (2020); lead and featured extra roles in TV commercials for both the Department of Education & Training and the Department of Transport for the Western Australian State Government, and the Serenitas group of Lifestyle Villages.
He has credited his inspiration to pursue acting work after his experience performing "off-screen" during a scene in the production of "Rams" (2020) with Australian actor Michael Caton (playing the character 'Les'). His work assisting in the blocking of numerous scenes with Director Jeremy Sims in the same production, further galvanised his desire to develop and expand his skills and experience in film performance.
