Lillian Wells was born in Adelaide, South Australia, the youngest of three siblings and, according to her family, the most persistent. From the age of four, she was recruiting family members and neighbours to star in backyard plays and short films shot on the family iPad—a creative pursuit that sparked her lifelong passion for acting.

Fascinated by people and the ways they move through the world, Lillian is drawn to acting as a means of exploring human behaviour, relationships and emotion. Her curiosity about what makes people tick continues to inspire her work as a performer.

After graduating from an agricultural high school and spending a brief period working in hospitality marketing, Lillian moved to Sydney in 2024 after being signed to pursue modelling and acting. Shortly thereafter, she was accepted into the Diploma of Stage and Screen course at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), where her training reinforced her belief that acting is a craft that requires a lifetime of learning and growth.

Lillian is endlessly curious about film, storytelling and the complex, wonderful people at the heart of every great story. She is excited to continue developing her craft and exploring the many possibilities that lie ahead in her creative career.
