Magnetic character actor with a dangerous edge and comedic range.
Andrew Ian Pope is a New Zealand-born, Queensland-based character actor known for kinetic, charismatic performances. From fast-talking gangsters and combustible sidekicks to sharp-tongued anti-heroes, Andrew blends volatile intensity with grounded and absurdist comedy as the role demands.
He co-led the Australian crime comedy Double or Nothing as “Turbo,” a likeable yet dangerous loose cannon opposite Vince Colosimo, John Jarratt and Robert Rabiah. The film received a national theatrical release and streams internationally. He also portrayed a menacing prison guard interrogator across two episodes of the Netflix series Boy Swallows Universe. He has frequently appeared as antagonists and as the foil in comedic duos across independent shorts and television pilots.
