Biografia

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.
