Two talented Williamstown brothers were born to be stars, with both Sebastian Sero and his younger brother Luka Sero having an impressive history in film and theatre.
Sebastian is only 11 years old and has already been involved in several stage plays, including his current gig with CLOC’S production of Billy Elliot at the National Theatre, playing no other than Billy himself.
Sebastian and Luka, 10, also perform together, recently sharing a role in Mary Poppins. They will soon tour Australia sharing the role of young Elvis in the touring production of ELVIS: The Musical Revolution.
“It’s really fun working together because we can prepare together and practise together which is really good,” Luka said.
The pair said they started auditing for opportunities at the age of five and have loved it ever since.
Being home-schooled, they are able to focus on their studies and have the flexibility to go to auditions and prepare for their time in the spotlight, while also rehearsing for their band.
“We have our home-schooling days where we focus on school and when we have a show we have a normal routine,” Sebastian said.
The boys often have Zoom sessions with their tutor Harry, watch a documentary during lunch, do more schooling and then head off to their big show.
With many aspirations for the future, both Sebastian and Luka are excited to explore any opportunity which comes their way.
“I will keep doing theatre which has always been my main thing and eventually hope to make it to Broadway one day,” Sebastian said.
“I might start getting a bit old for young theatre roles like, so I’ll probably focus more on getting on screen and getting my accent ready for movies and TV,“ Luka said.
