Jacob Sgouros is a Greek-Australian writer, actor, and musician (and father to a beautiful daughter named Maggie) based in Sydney, Australia, with a specific interest in writing for television and games. Growing up in rural New South Wales, he quickly took a shine to community theatre, getting his big break at the age of eight in the role of a reincarnated Elvis in a children’s adaptation of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which enjoyed a sold-out week-long season to a very confused audience of roughly forty people (though caught the performance bug nonetheless). In 2023, Jacob began work as a writer and narrative designer for Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, project co-produced by South Korean gaming company Netmarble Neo, HBO, and Warner Brothers. In 2024, Jacob’s play Ripple won the coveted Lysicrates Prize Commission. As part of the Australian Theatre for Young People’s National Studio program, Jacob’s work 2AM IN SUBURBIA was published by Currency Press as part of the program’s Intersection: Unleashed collection, and was subsequently longlisted for ATYP’s Foundation Commission, and shortlisted for Melbourne Theatre Company’s Cybec Electric program. Jacob is one of two head writers on Well, Actually Productions’ award winning short film (and subsequent) web-series Fangs and Fur. Having come from a multicultural home, Jacob is passionate about using humour to tell stories about people attempting to juggle conflicting ideals, typically through the lenses of grief and family. When not writing or acting, Jacob can usually be found on the couch with his daughter, trying to convince his wife that watching tv shows he has already seen too many times is not, in fact, a waste of time.…Jacob Sgouros is a Greek-Australian writer, actor, and musician (and father to a beautiful daughter named Maggie) based in Sydney, Australia, with a specific interest in writing for television and games.
