Troy Honeysett (/hˈəni.sɛt/;) is an Australian actor.[1] He is also known for his time with Australian Dance Theatre and his "ferocious athleticism" on stage.[2][3][4][5][6] Honeysett is a graduate from the National Institute of Dramatic Art, Sydney, Australia, and Te Whaea, Wellington, New Zealand.[7][8][9] He is the face of Builders Academy Australia.[10][11][12][13]

Background

Honeysett was born in Alice Springs, Northern Territory and began ballet later in life, having proven himself a proficient gymnast and international martial arts competitor.[22][23] He became a Principal dancer with Australian Dance Theatre (ADT), and during this time toured full-length dance works throughout Europe, The United States and Japan.[24][25] Honeysett left ADT to attend the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) to pursue acting.[26][27][28][29]

Honeysett plays action-hero "Bob the Builder" in an advertising campaign from Builders Academy Australia - the first television release was banned from free-to-air broadcast for "glamourising unsafe workplace behaviour".[30][31][32]
