Born in the picturesque city of Lower Hutt, nestled in the heart of New Zealand, Ari Boyland's journey into the world of acting was a serendipitous one, triggered by a perceptive school teacher who astutely recognized his innate talent at a remarkably young age. This pivotal discovery led to a series of performances with a group of fellow students, which ultimately paved the way for Ari to land his first professional role at the tender age of 11 on the widely acclaimed and popular children's television show 'The Tribe'.
As Ari's passion for acting continued to flourish, he made the bold decision to pursue his dreams further, enrolling in the esteemed Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theater in New York City in 2009. This significant milestone marked the beginning of a new chapter in his career, as he went on to work on a diverse range of international productions in both the United States and New Zealand, further honing his craft and solidifying his reputation as a talented and versatile actor.
