Background
[edit]Honeysett made his American feature film debut in Universal Pictures' Hard Target 2 (released Sept 2016).[14][15][16] His most recent performance is in Australian cinema release The Combination: Redemption (premiered Feb 2019). He has been credited in productions by Australian companies Pinchgut Opera, Theatre of Image, Bell Shakespeare, Opera Australia; and various other screen roles.[17][18][19][20][21]
Honeysett was born in Alice Springs, Northern Territory and began classical ballet later in life, having proven himself a proficient gymnast and international martial arts competitor.[22] He became a Principal dancer with Australian Dance Theatre (ADT), and during this time toured full-length contemporary dance works throughout Europe, The United States and Japan.[23][24] Honeysett left ADT to attend the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) to pursue acting.[25][26][27][28]
Honeysett plays action-hero "Bob the Builder" in an advertising campaign from Builders Academy Australia – the first television release was banned from free-to-air broadcast for "glamourising unsafe workplace behaviour".[29][30][31]
Other screen appearances include ABC Television's Artscape documentary series – Artists at Work[32][33] and The Making of Collision Course.[34] He appeared in Seasons Two and Three of reality-television series So You Think You Can Dance Australia, with Guest Performances and Choreography by Australian Dance Theatre.[35] Honeysett was first seen on screen in The Man from Snowy River: Arena Spectacular (film).
