Bio
Angus McLaren is an Australian actor best known for his television roles as Lewis McCartney in H2O: Just Add Water (2006-2010) and as Nathan Rafter in Packed To The Rafters, from 2008-2013.
Angus grew up on a dairy farm near Leongatha, south east of Melbourne, a fifth generation property passed down on his father's side.
After appearing in a number of amateur productions for the Leongatha Lyric Theatre, Angus made the leap to professional work with a recurring role on the ABC series Something in the Air, when he was only 12 years old.
Several further TV credits followed, including the children's series Worst Best Friends, The Saddle Club and Fergus McPhail. He also completed guest roles on Blue Heelers, Comedy Inc and Last Man Standing as well as a recurring role on Neighbours as Des and Daphne's son Jamie Clarke.
Angus' first main cast role came in 2004 in the children's series Silver Sun. In 2005 he made his feature film debut in the low budget Melbourne feature Court of Lonely Royals.
The following year he won the role of Lewis McCartney on the popular series H20: Just Add Water and a guest part on All Saints. But Packed to the Rafters is Angus' first adult main cast role.
Aside from acting, Angus is also an accomplished singer and musician. He plays drums in the band Rapids. His father Peter, like his on-screen dad in Packed to the Rafters, played in a band called Back to Scratch in the late 80s. His eldest brother Aiden is also in a band, Long Walk Home, who enjoyed success in Germany.
Away from work, Angus is a keen sportsman who enjoys cricket, swimming and AFL football.
