Career Highlights

Tania Nolan is a Canterbury-born actor working across television and film, both locally and internationally. She first gained recognition for her lead role in The Hothouse, earning a Best Actress nomination at the Qantas Television Awards. Her body of work spans a wide range — from sharp-witted comedy-drama (Go Girls, Step Dave) to fan-favorites (Home and Away, NCIS, Tinā), award-winning science fiction (This Is Not My Life), and stylized action (Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans). Her breadth of experience has also led to collaborations behind the scenes, including working with Cooper Koch as he prepared for his Golden Globe-nominated role in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Tania’s work as an acting coach continues to inspire and enrich her own craft in front of the camera.
