The actor, who recently starred in the 'The Bronx Bull', has been shortlisted for the award twice before landing this year’s win.
Mojean Aria recently returned to Australia to star in Noora Niasari’s debut feature, 'Shayda', acting alongside recent Cannes best actress winner Zar Amir-Ebrahimi. He'll also be seen soon in the Richard Hughes-directed 'The Enforcer', alongside Antonio Banderas, and 'The Last Manhunt' with his 'See' co-star, Jason Momoa.
Last year Ratidzo Mambo figured she wasn't being offered the type of roles she wanted and so she made a pivotal decision.
Noora Niasari’s 'Shayda' follows a young Iranian mother (Amir-Ebrahimi) who finds refuge with her six-year-old daughter Mona (Selina Zahednia) in an Australian women’s shelter during the two weeks of Iranian New Year (Nowrooz) in 1995.
Producer Emma Cooper is the new chair of Australians in Film (AiF), taking over from Simonne Overend.
