After seeing "Ace Ventura" and "The Naked Gun" the early age of 10, Grant Lancaster got his start by fulfilling the age-old cliche of making movies with his parents camcorder, and hasn't stopped since. 

Focusing mainly on a career in comedy at a young age, he has trained at the London Academy of Film & TV, studied at the San Francisco Comedy College and Shelton Studios in California. He has also finished masterclasses with Holly Powell and Terry Knickerbocker, completed a BFA in Acting in New York where he graduated with honors and an academic minor in psychology, and was 1 of 8 chosen to earn an MFA in Acting from UC Irvine’s prestigious graduate acting program.

 

His work can be seen on CBS, HBO, Netflix, Amazon, NBC & more, and has been shown at the TriBeCa Film Festival, Tacoma Film Festival, London Film Festival, Cannes Short Film Corner and New York International Film Festival, to name a few.

 

In 2022, he was nominated for "Best American Actor" at the prestigious Septimius Awards in Amsterdam for his work as Danny in

"The Blacklight", a feature length supernatural crime thriller currently available on all major streaming services.

​

In 2023, he was invited by Gilded Balloon to bring his autobiographical, hour-long solo show "One Room Sleep One Night" to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where he performed 27 shows almost every night over 29 days. The show was about a time he almost died from an ultra-rare neurological virus, when motorcycling alone deep in the mountains of Northern Thailand, (it's a comedy). 

​

He is also a stuntman in the TV & Film industry, having stunt doubled for Will Forte in Amy Schumer's Netflix movie "Kinda Pregnant", "American Rust" on Showtime, and many others.

 

Outside of these endeavors, he is a Fine Art Photographer, avid skier/snowboarder and 5-time Motorcycle Racing National Champion.
