Aussie Born Actor Mojean Aria is the New Heath Ledger Scholarship Winner!

Congrats to Mojean Aria — the newest Heath Ledger Scholarship winner!

The hot 24-year-old Aussie-born actor was awarded the coveted honor at Australian in Film’s fundraising dinner event this week in West Hollywood, Calif.

Speaking with the Sydney Herald afterwards, Mojean shared about continuing Heath’s legacy, “When you’re a young actor in Australia and you’re asked who would you like to be like, that’s who you want to be like.”

He adds, “Heath was ahead of his time, he was vulnerable and experimenting with acting, he was a complete chameleon, a whole new kind of actor. He always improved, with each film he did, and you can’t say that about many actors.”

The scholarship provides a launchpad for emerging actors to help forge their international careers in Hollywood.
