Born in Brisbane, Australia to Scottish parents, Reece spent some of
his early years living in Scotland. He attended Brisbane State High
School in South Brisbane. He was always interested in the performing
arts but pin-points his decision to become an actor as the moment he
learned of Heath Ledger's death. Upon seeing Ledger's Oscar winning
performance in The Dark Knight, Reece's mind was made up.
He studied at the Queensland University of Technology Bachelor of Fine
Arts (Acting) course and graduated with distinction. Reece moved to
Sydney in 2014.
He has also written his first full length stage play entitled Letter To
My Son. He was inspired to write the play by the music of Bloc Party.
