Deirdree Wallace

From Central Park under the direction of Milos Forman to award-winning Off-Off-Broadway performances, Deirdree Wallace’s career bridges the heart of New York theatre and Australian screen. An Australian award-winning actress, Wallace trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, where she completed three years of study and earned her BA in Theatre after being granted a scholarship to the Academy.

Most recently, she wrapped filming on Runner alongside Alan Ritchson, scheduled for release in 2026.
