A veteran of both film and television, IAN BLISS made his small screen debut on the popular Australian high school drama series Heartbreak High in 1995.

He followed with several notable TV appearances including Home & Away, The Lost World and Farscape, and in groundbreaking mini-series Blue Murder, Halifax f.p and Bootleg for the BBC. Soon, feature films followed with starring roles in Siam Sunset, The Bank and in the Australian short Bound. Bliss starred as Bane in the second and final installments of The Matrix trilogy, The Matrix Reloaded & The Matrix Revolutions and will soon appear in the Marvel Comics' adaptation of Man Thing, due for theatrical release in USA later this year.

Bliss recently completed principal photography for Rob Cohen's Stealth in which he plays the character of Bill Shaftsbury also starring Josh Lucas, Sam Shepherd and Jessica Biel.

Bliss graduated from the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Arts in 1993 and currently resides in Sydney, Australia with his wife, actress Jacqueline Brennan, and daughter Bailey.

Here's what others have to say:

"I saw Ian Bliss in The Matrix series and knew what a nimble and skilled actor he was. In Stealth he plays a naval officer who's intrinsically a very emotional man sitting hard on those emotions. With great talent he created a memorable character."
Rob Cohen, Director, Stealth

"Ian Bliss is an actor with incredible versatility, who brought both menace and humour to the character Rodney Thibodeaux in the MAN-THING"
Brett Leonard, Director, Man Thing

"Ian Bliss is more Hugo weaving than Hugo weaving..." "...His scenes with Reeves and Moss are the most tense in the film"
