Making a splash on both the big and small screens with shows like New Girl and the feature film The Drop, James Frecheville looks the part of a romantic lead with his chiseled good looks and soulful eyes.

Supermodel/actor Gemma Ward radiates the kind of vulnerable sex appeal that audiences have always loved. Her movie credits are few but impressive, appearing in The Great Gatsby and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Married to fellow Australian hottie Luke Mitchell, the voluptuous natural beauty Rebecca Breeds has carved out an impressive career for herself as an international TV star. She currently plays Aurora de Martel on The Originals.

The ruggedly handsome Jai Courtney leads the pack of hot young Aussie actors. Over just a few years, Courtney has made a name for himself, mostly thanks to his role in the Divergent franchise. He will next be seen as Captain Boomerang in Suicide Squad.
