Michala Banas is a multi award winning film, television and theatre actor. Born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, Michala splits her time working between Melbourne and Los Angeles. Michala's career began very early with her first film credit at the age of 5. Since then, she has forged a remarkable career, starring in over 40 film, television and theatre productions. She quickly became the go-to girl for drama in Australia and more recently has been in high demand for comedy after the huge international success of Upper Middle Bogan (Bess of Both Worlds), in which she played the much loved and feisty Amber Wheeler. Michala is also a writer, a founding member and co-artistic director of Green room nominated theatre company, The KIN Collective, and is also story producer on the ground breaking documentary, The Show Must Go On.
