Early life

Lincoln Younes was born in Sydney, but grew up in Bendigo, Victoria, where he was raised by his mother.[2] He has a younger brother.[3] Younes confirmed that his surname is Arabic and he is half Lebanese.[4] He attended Flora Hill Secondary College.[5] After playing soccer for 14 years, Younes initially chose to pursue a sporting career. However, he later realised he preferred acting when he starred in a school production of Peter Pan.[6] He was accepted onto a one-year weekend course at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA),[6] and he also started a Bachelor of Arts at Melbourne University, but he decided to defer after six months.[6]

Career

In 2009, Younes made his debut in acting when he guest starred in an episode of the crime drama City Homicide as Tyler Drew.[7] After attending his first audition, Younes was cast as Romeo Kovac in the Showcase drama series Tangle.[8] Younes commented that the show was "the best training ground I could have had and I am really appreciative of the chance to do it."[8] In 2013, Younes won the ASTRA Award for Most Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor for his portrayal of Romeo.[9] Younes also appears in the feature film The Wedding Party, along with Josh Lawson and Isabel Lucas. The film was shown at the Melbourne International Film Festival.[8]

In 2011, Younes successfully auditioned for the role of Casey Braxton in the soap opera Home and Away.[5] He relocated to Sydney for filming.[5] Of his character, Younes said "Casey's come from the wrong side of the tracks. He's come to a new place and is trying establish himself on the straight and narrow, while his brothers are doing anything but that."[5] Younes was nominated for Cleo's "Bachelor of the Year" in 2013.[10] The following year, he won the Inside Soap Award for Best Daytime Star for his portrayal of Casey.[11] Younes decided to leave Home and Away in 2014 and he filmed his final scenes that May.[12] Younes collaborated with the serial's writing team on his character's exit, which saw him killed-off after being shot.[13]

Following his departure from Home and Away, Younes joined the cast of the Nine Network's drama Love Child as Chris Vesty.[12] After flying to Los Angeles for acting work, Younes returned two days later to join the cast of ABC miniseries Hiding.[13] The series centres on a family forced to enter into a witness protection program.[14] Younes plays teenager Mitchell and he had to dye his hair with peroxide for the part.[13] He described his character: "Mitchell is basically a stereotypical 17-year-old. He’s got his priorities set: his girlfriend, surfing, not much school, just living that beach life. Then all of a sudden the rug gets pulled out from under him."[13]

Younes appears in the 2016 black-comedy film Down Under.[15] He played Jewish male model, Lucacz, in the play The Homosexuals, Or 'Faggots' written by Declan Greene.[16] In 2018, Younes appeared in the SBS crime drama Dead Lucky, alongside Rachel Griffiths.[17] Younes plays Danny Garibaldi, one of the main characters, in the ABC drama Grand Hotel, which is produced by Eva Longoria and based on a Spanish format. The series centres on a family and the staff who own and run a Miami Beach hotel.[18] The series was cancelled after one season.[19]

In February 2020, Younes was cast in The CW's The Lost Boys pilot as Benjamin, the leader of a gang of vampires. The role is similar to the character of David, played by Kiefer Sutherland in the 1987 film.[20] The pilot ceased, due to COVID-19.[21] Younes was an ambassador for the 2020 MEN-tality project for Beyond Blue, shot by Peter Brew-Bevan alongside Rodger Corser, Cody Simpson and Barry Otto.[22] He also joined the cast of Nine Network drama series Doctor Doctor for its fifth season in 2021.[23]

Younes has a supporting role in the 2022 surfing drama series Barons, which was filmed in New South Wales.[24] He also appears in Nine Network's drama After the Verdict, alongside Sullivan Stapleton and Magda Szubanski.[25] Younes will star as John Ibrahim in the biographical series Last King of the Cross for Paramount+. The ten-episode series, based on Ibrahim's autobiography, is being filmed and produced in Sydney.[26]
