Nash Edgerton

Nash Edgerton (born 19 January 1973) is an Australian film director, stuntman and actor, and a principal member of the movie-making collective Blue-Tongue Films.

Early life
Edgerton was born in Blacktown, New South Wales and grew up in Dural (both suburbs of Sydney). He is the son of Marianne (van Dort), a homemaker, and Michael Edgerton, a solicitor/property developer. His younger brother is actor Joel Edgerton. His mother is a Dutch immigrant who was born in The Hague.

Stuntman
As a stuntman, he has worked on such films as The Matrix trilogy, The Thin Red Line, Superman Returns, and, most notably, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, as the stunt double for Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi. His brother Joel appeared in those same films as young Owen Lars.

Director
Throughout Edgerton's career, he has made critically well-received short films often starring himself, such as Spider and Bear. He has also directed a total of four music videos for artist Bob Dylan ("Beyond Here Lies Nothin'", "Must Be Santa", "Duquesne Whistle", and "The Night We Called It a Day"). His feature-length directorial debut was The Square (2008), an Australian neo-noir thriller. His most recent film as director was Gringo, released in 2018.

From 2018 to 2021, Edgerton directed every episode of Mr Inbetween, an Australian television black comedy-drama series starring and written by Scott Ryan. The series is adapted from Ryan's 2005 film The Magician, which Edgerton helped Ryan expand from a short film. Edgerton's stepdaughter Chika Yasumura appears in the series as the daughter of Ryan's character.

Personal life
Edgerton began dating Carla Ruffino in 2011 and they married on 1 April 2014. He is stepfather to her daughter from a previous marriage, Chika Yasumura. They have one daughter together, born in 2015.
