Early and personal life
Lincoln Younes was born in Canberra, but grew up in Melbourne.[citation needed] He attended Flora Hill Secondary College, while living in Bendigo.[1] After playing soccer for 14 years, Younes initially chose to pursue a sporting career. However, he later realised he preferred acting and was accepted onto a one-year weekend course at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA).[2] Younes started an Arts and Law degree at Melbourne University, but he decided to defer after six months.[2]
Younes is in a relationship with actress Amy Ruffle.[3]
Career
In 2009, Younes guest starred in an episode of the crime drama City Homicide.[4] After attending his first audition, Younes was cast as Romeo Kovac in the Showcase drama series Tangle.[5] Younes commented that the show was "the best training ground I could have had and I am really appreciative of the chance to do it."[5] In 2013, Younes won the ASTRA Award for Most Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor for his portrayal of Romeo.[6] Younes appears in the feature film The Wedding Party, along with Josh Lawson and Isabel Lucas. The film was shown at the Melbourne International Film Festival.[5]
In 2011, Younes successfully auditioned for the role of Casey Braxton in the soap opera Home and Away.[1] He relocated to Sydney for filming.[1] Of his character, Younes said "Casey's come from the wrong side of the tracks. He's come to a new place and is trying establish himself on the straight and narrow, while his brothers are doing anything but that."[1] In 2013, Younes was nominated for Cleo's "Bachelor of the Year".[7]
