Aidan Banyard

Artist Bio

Aidan is a versatile actor, vocalist, and storyteller with a particular talent for transformation – on stage, in voiceover, and occasionally during a spirited game of Brazilian thumb wrestling! With a strong foundation in musical theatre, Aidan has delivered powerful performances in roles such as Jean Valjean in Les Misérables and The Joker in the internationally touring production of The Choir of Man.

His work combines emotional depth, vocal strength, and a touch of mischief, making him a natural fit for both dramatic and comedic roles. On screen, he appeared in Autopsy: The Last Night of Gram Parsons, and he can be heard in the audiobook Ajay and the Red Winged Prince, where his rich storytelling instincts shine.

Outside the spotlight, Aidan is an unapologetic enthusiast of niche pastimes – from penny whistle playing to origami, and even the highly questionable (but entirely fictional) art of vegan taxidermy. His aloof-but-curious nature feeds a love for books, new ideas, and perfectly brewed home coffee. With a voice as expressive as his imagination, Aidan brings intelligence, humour, and heart to every character he embodies.
