Antonio Russo, known to many as Toto, is a Geelong-based actor originally from Italy, bringing a grounded and authentic presence to every performance.

With a speaking role in ABC’s The Newsreader and an expanding list of short film credits through SAE and independent productions, he continues to build an impressive screen portfolio.

After moving to Australia without knowing the language, Antonio discovered his voice—both personally and professionally—through acting. He has trained in the Meisner and Adler techniques at Braves in Melbourne and the Stella Adler Academy in Los Angeles.

Fluent in Italian and English, he brings a European edge, depth, and discipline to both dramatic and commercial roles.

Antonio is professional, enthusiastic, and open to work. He’s always keen to collaborate on creative projects in the region and beyond.
