The Equity Foundation is delighted to announce that Sydney-based Actors Centre Australia graduate Will Thomas is the winner of the 2025 Equity Easy Tiger Screen Graduate Internship.
Will Thomas will spend a week on the set of the highly anticipated new series of Easy Tiger’s hit comedy COLIN FROM ACCOUNTS in Sydney next year.
Will was selected by an independent judging panel from more than 100 impressive graduates from across Australia. This year’s finalists included Josh Tangira, Breanna Kelly, Victoria Fowler, Will Thomas and Emily Nagisa Machin.
Easy Tiger’s Ally Henville says: “Watching the auditions for 2025’s cohort of talented applicants, we were delighted with the curiosity & passion on display. The top five finalists all brought a unique and engaging perspective to their performances, making for a tough choice. With interests both in front of and behind the camera, Will Thomas’ distinctive and complementary skill set stood out as the best fit for the internship opportunity with Easy Tiger, and we look forward to hosting him on set next year.”
Of being selected for the internship, Equity member Will Thomas says: “I’m a huge fan of Australian comedy. To be selected for the Equity Easy Tiger Graduate Internship means the world to me, and to be among such talented and funny finalists is an honor. Rake, Colin From Accounts, and Jack Irish are major influences on me and my work. To learn directly from the experienced professionals who made them is a tremendous opportunity. I can’t wait to meet other passionate artists as they produce some of Australia’s best original material. P.S I need more Rake. I love you Richard Roxburgh.”
This paid internship is made possible with the generous support of Media Super. Will Thomas will be paid at the appropriate award rate for the duration of the internship.
