Jordan Fraser-Trumble
Jordan Fraser-Trumble isn’t exactly a household name, but if you’re into Australian cinema, you might’ve caught his work in The Legend of Ben Hall (2017) or The Family (2016). The guy’s got this knack for picking projects that don’t just fade into the background. The Legend of Ben Hall, for example, isn’t your average shoot-’em-up Western. It digs into Australia’s bushranger history, showing Ben Hall’s last days with a sort of gritty realism that you don’t see every day. Fraser-Trumble plays a part in bringing that world to life—there’s mud, sweat, desperation, and this looming sense of doom that hangs over every decision. It’s not all about the action, either; there’s this constant tension between loyalty and betrayal, and you can almost feel the dust in your teeth.
Then there’s The Family (2016), which is just a whole different beast. This one dives into the twisted real-life story of a cult in Australia, led by this chilling matriarch who’s equal parts manipulative and charismatic. Creepy doesn’t even begin to cover it. Fraser-Trumble’s involvement here adds another layer to the film’s atmosphere—he’s not front and center, but he’s part of the machinery that makes the story so unsettling. There’s this sense of unease, like you’re eavesdropping on something you shouldn’t hear. Basically, if you see Fraser-Trumble’s name pop up in a cast list, you can bet you’re in for something intense, maybe even a little disturbing.
