Damon Herriman

Australian actor

Damon Herriman is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Damon Herriman as Australian actor.

Damon Herriman was born at Adelaide in 1970. His recorded nationality is Australia.

By this period cinema was global and fragmented: independent finance, festival circuits and television drama competing for the same talent.

He worked as actor, cinematographer and screenwriter.

His name is attached above all to roles as Dewey Crowe on the FX neo-western crime series Justified, and Romeo on the Starz drama miniseries Flesh and Bone. A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.

He was nominated for AACTA Award for Best Performance in a Television Comedy.

That the work was made from Australia shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.

Damon Herriman is still working, and the shape of the career is not yet settled.
