Dacre Montgomery

“I had a really tough time in high school.”

“I love food, and my girlfriend comes from an architecture background, so we might open up a restaurant.”

“After Year 12, I went to Vancouver for my gap year and met an agent who told me to lose 25 kg.”

“I was probably about 10 years old when I said to Mom, 'I'd really like to pursue a career in front of the camera.'”

“I'm looking for the thing that is different from the antagonist in 'Stranger Things,' different from the protagonist in 'Power Rangers,' and something that will really continue these two amazing opportunities I've been given.”

“My parents worked in the film industry, but they both worked behind the camera, so I like to think that I have a really good understanding of how all the parts of the puzzle come together to make a film or TV show.”

“My mum didn't really let me watch TV until I was about 5 years old.”

“Cara Buono is a lovely, lovely lady.”

“I didn't have any friends. I was bullied. I didn't play sports.”

“I always just like to improvise, and that goes for my audition tapes as well.”

“I'm writing; I'm teaching myself writing.”

“It's not just the actor in front of the camera. And it's important to have respect for all those people that work behind the camera.”

“I like different actors for different reasons. There are people like Tom Cruise, who have continued to stay on top of their game, and Hugh Jackman, for being one of the hardest working people in Hollywood.”

“It's one huge arc right until you're in your early 20s. You're always changing and always learning, but it's very much that chapter in your life: fall crazy in love, become extremely angry at little things. It's a tumultuous time.”

“My mom's a psychologist, and so is my grandfather.”

“I think we live in this interesting point where if you know how to and you're interested in capitalizing on social media for good and for brand building, there's so much potential.”

“I think that your relationship is always changing with your siblings.”

“I was bullied in high school, and it's interesting coming from the other side of the camera lens, finding out that all of these people that I thought were my antagonists in my life were probably just as insecure as I was at that age.”

“In terms of my actual acting, I don't really like to to copy anyone or replicate anything that I've seen.”

“Growing up, I was into 'Power Rangers.'”
