Laurence was born into a family of artists on 09/10/1986. His father was the
revolutionary British art critic and founder of Modern Painters Peter Fuller, his
mother is the Australian sculptress Stephanie Burns. Laurence's uncle, Brendon
Burns, winner of the 2007 if.comedy award at this year's Edinburgh Festival,
inspired Laurence to become a performer from the age of 10 when he joined the
Australian Theatre for Young People. Since Laurence has been carving out a name for
himself, garnering interest from such casting directors as Dan Hubbard (Bourne
Ultimatum).
Grammy nominated conductor, Christopher Lyndon-Gee came to see Laurence as Calaban
in Shakespeare's The Tempest in Australia, when he was just 15 years old forming a
friendship that still lasts today.
"He is a thoroughly exceptional young man, with a powerful artistic personality and
drive beneath, and already significant achievements for his age."- Christopher
Lyndon-Gee, 2006
From 2003-04 Laurence worked intensively with Peter Wilkins, who is the theatre
critic for the Canberra Times and thought by many to be the foremost acting tutor in
Australia's capitol. Peter said of Laurence;
"A natural soft-spoken, unassuming demeanour belies a resolute confidence and
ambitious determination to succeed. Laurence possesses a passion that gives rise to
inventive, imaginative and highly intelligent interpretation of character."- Peter
Wilkins, 2005
Laurence has discovered his own voice as an actor, which has been developing over
the past ten years with his involvement in fringe theatre and voice-over work
(including work for X-Box).
"An up and coming voice artist to look out for, Laurence comes by his talent
naturally."- Stephanie Ciccarelli, 2006
His talent has now been finely tuned into a highly professional tool by his training
at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Laurence has been in consistent work since he
graduated in July this year, with help from his theatrical agent, Loftus Burton
(Evolution Management) and voice-over agent, Susan MacTavish (Lip Service).
In 2005 driven by his love for all artistic forms Laurence curated an art exhibition
of rare and important European prints including artists such as Rembrandt, Lucian
Freud and Goya. The show was held at Stephanie Burns Fine Art in Australia, drew a
record attendance for the gallery of over 600 people and established him as the
youngest successful art dealer in Australian history. If you'd like to know more
