Tim Pocock plays Ethan Karamakov on the Australian television show Dance Academy. Born in South Africa, and raised in Ireland, Tim moved to Australia at the age of seven. He developed an interest in singing and was accepted into the Australian Children's Choir. That led to an audition for a stage production of The Sound of Music, in which he was cast in the role of Kurt. Tim was offered a principal role in the Australian Opera Company's 1995 production of The Magic Flute and spent the next five years working with Opera Australia. He performed over a hundred times at the Australian Opera House in twelve productions, including Neil Armfield's Billy Budd, Baz Lurhman's A Midsummer Night's Dream, as well as Carmen, Tosca, Macbeth, and a reprisal of his role in The Magic Flute for its 1999 season. When he finished school, Tim studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney. In 2009, he played Scott Summers, better known as Cyclops, in the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In 2011, he played Angus McCathie on the Australian soap opera Home and Away
