Childhood and Family
Brenton first graced the world with his presence on the 9th of August, 1989, in the Australian city of Cairns, as the progeny of Fiona and Peter Thwaites. The actor has a sister named Stacey. As a youngster, Thwaites harboured dreams of donning a policeman's or firefighter's uniform, but later his fascination veered towards the cinematic universe – entranced by the notion of "manifesting his personality through a myriad of diverse characters".
At the age of sixteen, Brenton first stepped onto the stage, portraying Romeo in a production of Shakespeare's tragic masterpiece "Romeo and Juliet". Brenton reminisced that his debut was marked by nausea from nervousness, forgetting lines, and uncertainty about where to look. However, halfway through the play, he found his confidence and was able to relish in the experience. He quipped, "It was as if I was tossed in the middle of a river and suddenly learned how to swim," while reminiscing about the occasion.
Acting career
Brenton's first foray into acting, whilst still a university student, was a minor role in the Australian thriller "Charge Over You". Post-graduation, he relocated to Sydney, securing a role in the highly popular Australian soap opera "Home and Away", a series that has graced local televisions since 1988. Following this, Thwaites featured in an episode of the Australian series "Sea Patrol" and in the short film "Headsmen".

His co-star in this project was the Australian actress Indiana Evans. The film received a mixed response, yet the performances were lauded for their authenticity.
Thwaites truly became a recognizable figure after his role in Alex Proyas's "Gods of Egypt". Here, he played the young thief Bek. Besides Brenton, the film starred Gerard Butler, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and Geoffrey Rush.
