The list covers the most talented actors, models, and entertainment professionals in Australia, with those gaining international admiration and showing success across multiple fields in 2018 scoring highest.
At the top of our list is talented actor and auctioneer to the stars James Pratt.

Pratt recently finished hosting Season One of “Conversation Hollywood.” He has interviewed such guests as two-time Academy Award Nominee Bruce Beresford and American actress Jessica Ross, (Season One "Fashion Dolls" ). And in April 2018 Pratt signed a deal with Hollywood powerhouse production team The Company for his own TV show. Pratt has a slate of four film projects lined up in Hollywood for 2019. “James has one of those rare talents that lets him appear absolutely compelling and natural in front of the camera,” said Trisanne Marin of LA Management, Pratt’s Los Angeles-based manager. Pratt’s career as an auctioneer has also been extraordinarily successful, with a reputation of being the best in the world for celebrity and luxury homes. He holds 25 records and is the auctioneer of choice for the biggest celebrities in the world when selling their homes.
Pratt was the 2018 REB Australian Auctioneer of the Year Finalist, The 2018 REI NSW Top Communication Award Finalist, and the 2018 Australian Thought Leader of the Year Finalist. He recently auctioned the palatial home of handbag designer Gabrielle Tindale, the powerwoman behind the House of Tindale, for $7.8 million. Pratt’s acting success and remarkable accomplishments in 2018 make him our number one pick for the 2019 Top 5 Under 35 in Australia’s Entertainment Industry list.
2) Amy Shark
Amy Louise Billings, known professionally as Amy Shark, also had a breakout year in 2018. She cemented herself as Australia’s reigning queen of pop, taking home Album of the Year, Best Female Artist and Best Pop Release at this year's ARIA awards. She was also the most nominated music act with nine nominations on the night. Shark who hails from the Gold Coast, also made headlines in the United States with appearances on The Late Late Show with James Corden and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, further growing her international fan base.That’s why Shark is our pick for number two on the 2019 Top 5 Under 35 in Australia’s Entertainment Industry list.
3) Victoria Lee
Some models are at the top of their game, Victoria Lee is one of them. The 27-year-old walked in the historic Victoria’s Secret show in Shanghai prior to starting 2018. The event was the world-famous lingerie brand’s first-ever show in Asia. Lee then became the official model ambassador for retail giant David Jones and has excelled in this position. She was also on the cover for Elle Magazine in May of 2018 and scored the cover soon after of Marie Claire Magazine Spain in July. While Lee says her own style is constantly changing, her career hit another high in 2018. That’s why we picked Lee for the number-three spot on the 2019 Top 5 Under 35 in Australia’s Entertainment Industry list.
