Actor Callan Mulvey has landed roles in two major US films: the sequel to sword-and-sandals blockbuster 300 and Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow's next project Zero Dark Thirty.
Mulvey, who is best known for his roles in Rush, Underbelly and Heartbreak High will star alongside fellow Aussie Sullivan Stapleton (Animal Kingdom) in 300: Battle of Artemisia. The film, which will be produced by Zack Snyder, will be released in August 2013.
In Zero Dark Thirty, Kathryn Bigelow's film about a team of Navy Seals that track down Osama Bin Laden, Mulvey joins a cast that includes Mark Strong, Joel Edgerton and Jessica Chastain. Filming is set to commence in April.
Bigelow's last film, The Hurt Locker, won Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture in 2010.
Mulvey is represented by Mark Morrissey and Associates and recently signed with prestigious agency CAA in Los Angeles.
