Finn Little

Little's screen career moved faster than most child actors manage. After early commercial work starting around age five, he got his first meaningful narrative credit with the short film *The Greatest Champ Fernley* (Famous Birthdays). The real turning point came in 2019 with *Storm Boy* — a feature debut opposite Geoffrey Rush and Jai Courtney that earned him genuine critical attention, not the polite kind that gets handed to young performers as a courtesy. Television work ran alongside the film career. He appeared in the Netflix series *Tidelands* in 2018 and later in *Reckoning*, building a recurring presence on Australian and international streaming before landing the role that changed his profile entirely: Carter in Taylor Sheridan's *Yellowstone*. That series regular role, which he held from 2021 through 2024, put him in front of one of the biggest cable and streaming audiences in the United States (Wikipedia). Simultaneously, Sheridan cast him in *Those Who Wish Me Dead* (2021) — a thriller that dropped him into survival sequences opposite Angelina Jolie and Jon Bernthal, with location shooting that was, by most accounts, physically demanding in ways that can't be faked in post-production. The more recent work suggests he's actively pushing past the younger-roles bracket. *The Surfer* (2024), a film starring Nicolas Cage that premiered at Cannes, is a different kind of credential than a franchise television role — it's the sort of project that signals an actor's range to casting directors internationally. He also reprised Carter in *Dutton Ranch*, the *Yellowstone* continuation that launched on Paramount+ in May 2024 (SCMP). Hard to say whether awards recognition will follow — his work on *Those Who Wish Me Dead* didn't generate major individual nominations, though his name circulated in conversations about young performers worth watching that year. The Cannes debut for *The Surfer* is a more concrete marker of where his career is heading.
