Dougie Baldwin is an Australian actor and comedian, best known for his starring roles in Disjointed (Netflix), opposite Kathy Bates, and Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage (HBO Max). He broke out with the critically acclaimed dramedy Upper Middle Bogan, which led to his lead role in the International Emmy-winning teen series Nowhere Boys. The show built a cult following in Australia, eventually securing distribution on the UK’s Channel 4 and Hulu in the US.
Earlier in his career, Dougie starred in the WB/CBS pilot What Goes Around Comes Around opposite Jason Lee and Alyssa Milano. On the feature side, he appeared in The Turning, sharing the screen with Rose Byrne, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, and Miranda Otto.
By the age of 21, Dougie had already led three major series. Wanting to deepen his craft, he stepped away from the screen to study at the prestigious École Philippe Gaulier in France, graduating top of his class. The school counts Sacha Baron Cohen, Emma Thompson, and Helena Bonham Carter among its alumni and famously inspired Zach Galifianakis’ FX series Baskets.
A force in the live comedy scene, Dougie is known for his unique brand of character and physical comedy. He won the Golden Gibbo Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for Detention, in which he portrayed a Vice Principal running a chaotic school detention—with the audience cast as students. He was also nominated for Best Comedy at Melbourne Fringe for his one-man show where he embodied his own father for an hour.
In addition to performing, Dougie curates and headlines one of Melbourne’s most popular alternative comedy nights, Limbo Comedy, and regularly appears at venues across the city.
