Phoebe Tonkin Acting Career

Tonkin made a big entrance into the world of acting after joining the cast of the Australian children’s television series H2O: Just Add Water, in which she played the lead role of Cleo Sertori. Although she was cast in 2005, the series was first released on Network Ten on July 7, 2006, and was subsequently made available to a wider audience of approximately 250 million people worldwide. The finale was broadcast in 2010 after three seasons. Two years after her debut, Phoebe was nominated for Best Actress in a TV Series at the Australian Film Institute Awards.

She continued to get roles in other Australian television shows, including Packed to the Rafters and Home and Away, and in 2010 she appeared in her first film Tomorrow, When the War Began, an Australian action movie. In the sequel, she was to return to her role as Fiona Maxwell, but production never got off the ground.

Her home country was not enough for the young and fast-rising star actress when she left Australia in January 2011 looking for opportunities to gain a foothold on the international scene, and that’s exactly what she did. A few months after her move, Phoebe took over the casting of the CW drama series The Secret Circle. Her role as Faye Chamberlain received rave reviews, with critics calling her the breakout star of the series. More than that, Variety named her on the list of “new faces to watch,” while E! Online listed her as one of the breakout TV stars of 2011. Unfortunately, the series only survived the first season and was canceled on May 11, 2012.

Later in 2010, Phoebe joined the cast of the 3D horror movie Bait 3D. A year later she was given the recurring role of Hayley in the cast of the CW television series The Vampire Diaries alongside Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, Steven R. McQueen, and Joseph Morgan. The series was a commercial hit and was loved around the world, giving it more international recognition. The Originals, a spin-off series from Vampire Diaries, also had them on set.
