Career

Mulvey used a personal interest in skateboarding to work as a stunt double about two years prior to winning the role of Drazic in Heartbreak High.[1] His first role was of a victim of a robbery in a police training video.[2]

In 2004 he re-entered the spotlight for the release of Thunderstruck.

Mulvey had guest spots on Home and Away (as Johnny Cooper) during 2006 to 2008 and McLeod's Daughters during 2007.

He starred in the 2008 Australian underworld crime show Underbelly as Mark Moran,[3] and appeared in police series Rush as Sgt. Brendan "Josh" Joshua.[4]

In 2012 he starred in the underworld crime miniseries Bikie Wars: Brothers in Arms as Mark Anthony "Snoddy" Spencer.[5]

In 2013 he appeared in Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty as Saber. He also starred in The Turning, directed by Robert Connelly.

In 2014 he appeared in 300: Rise of an Empire as Syllias. Also in 2014 he also appeared in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as Jack Rollins. It was his second time appearing in a film as a soldier alongside Frank Grillo.

Mulvey played Anatoli Knyazev in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016).[6] In the film, Knyazev does not appear as KGBeast and is only a hired gun.

In 2016, Mulvey appeared briefly in Warcraft, the film adaptation of Warcraft, credited as Warrior,[7] as well as joining the main cast of Starz TV's Power, for season three, as Dean.[8] Callan has also completed the horror film Delirium, and is in post-production for the films Beyond Skyline, the sequel to the cult-classic Skyline,[9] and Desolate, a drama based on a family of farmers living in a dystopian future.[10] He filmed Bleeding Steel, a science fiction thriller starring Jackie Chan.[11] Mulvey is also filming In Like Flynn, a biopic of Errol Flynn's early years.[12]

Personal life

Mulvey was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and moved to Australia when he was 8, growing up in the northern suburbs of Sydney.[1] Mulvey was injured in a serious car accident in 2003,[13] in a head-on collision at 100 km/h. He was trapped in the vehicle for almost an hour until he could be freed from the wreckage. The midsection of his face collapsed, an incision was made from ear to ear over the top of his scalp, his face "pulled down" and 17 titanium plates were then inserted to repair the fractures to his face and jaw. His left knee and ankle were also badly fractured.

He married Rachel Thomas, a schoolteacher, in Byron Bay in 2010, they have a son, Charlie.[14]
