- Rowan, a handsome medium-built man in his late twenties, who looks like he's straight off the farm.
He's a Jason Ritter type. He is a sensitive, fun-loving compassionate man with a sharp wit and a keen sense of humor. His chiseled jaw and piercing blue eyes give him the leading man edge. But his wackiness allows him to play more supporting roles, which makes him relatable to the average man. In one sentence, he is the handsome, intelligent, doofus.
He looks like a young Val Kilmer or Matt Damon, but acts like a blond Jim Carey.
His depth of emotion leads him to either break down in tears or laughter; often expressed through a spontaneous physicality and sharp comedic timing.
His ideal role to play is the best friend in a comedy drama who breaks down the leading lady's defenses with his charming wit and wins her over with his underlying sensitivity. In a medical Drama, he is the sensitive doctor.
He's the rookie cop in a crime drama, or the young arrogant heir in a family drama, both who have something to prove.
Like any good hero, he has a sense of darkness in his soul, which isolates him in his pain. This enables him to play the resentful villain in a superhero film or the anti-hero in a psychological thriller, think Matt Damon in 'Talented Mr Ripley'.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Rowan Studti
- Rowan has pursued acting from the age of six. He started attending Drama classes at the Johannesburg Youth Theater and continued into his early teens. His acting debut occurred in high school when he took part in the school's production of 'Footloose', and then later, Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible' and Andrew Lloyd Weber's 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. This confidently affirmed his choice to pursue acting.
After high school (2008) he a took a leap of faith and traveled abroad to study at the New York Film Academy and Shelley Mitchell's Actors' Center in San Francisco. The following year, he came home to further his studies, where he enrolled at ACT Cape Town Film Academy's night program, while simultaneously studying a BA degree in Drama, Film and Screenwriting at the University of Cape Town during the day. After graduating in 2011, he took a year off and thereafter completed his Postgraduate Certificate in Drama Education at UCT in 2013.
In 2017 he adventured abroad for the second time, this time to Canada, to study at Matthew Harrison's Actors Foundry, where he reached a new level of authenticity in his acting and in his personal development. He continues to work in this acting technique and meets weekly with other actors to foster and hone their skill.
