Rarmian Newton is an Australian actor from Melbourne. He is known for his roles in American television series. In 2024, Newton played the role of Sebastian Metcalfe in the Network Ten soap opera Neighbours.
Career
Newton was born in Melbourne, Australia. His parents were supportive of him wanting to pursue an acting career as a child.
His early stage roles included the 2006 role of Young Allen in The Boy from Oz, alongside Hugh Jackman. He also played the titular character in the original Australian production of Billy Elliot the Musical in 2008. For his performance in the musical, Newton won the Helpmann Award for Best Male Actor in a Musical at the 2008 Helpmann Awards. In 2012, Newton and Riley Miner played the role of Hiccup in the US tour of How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular.
When Newton was aged twenty-one, he decided to move to Los Angles to pursue his career in the US.
In 2016, Newton took on the role of Young Danny Warren in the American thriller series, The Family. To accommodate filming for the role, Newton relocated to New York City, which he found difficult because both moves occurred in just months apart.
In 2018, Newton secured the regular role of Maashous Evers in the American musical drama series, Rise. Newton believed his background in musical theatre helped him suit the role. Maashous was portrayed as a homeless teenager and Newton related to the character from his experiences of moving to the US without his parents. Newton also recalled being interested in the role because the show features a performance of the musical, Spring Awakening, which was then his favourite musical.
In 2018, he joined the cast of US horror drama NOS4A2, playing the recurring role of Drew Butler. The character was described as a prep-school friend of a fellow character and has a "hidden sensitive side".
In 2019, it was announced that Newton had secured a regular role in the third season of American crime drama, Mr. Mercedes. Newton played Peter Saubers, a "smart and personable" teenager.
In 2024, Newton secured a guest role in the Australian soap opera, Neighbours, playing Sebastian Metcalfe. The role was billed as a dramatic one, with Sebastian "set to send shockwaves through Erinsborough for a long time to come." Newton was happy to play the role because he had "much love and respect for show". The character was introduced as an old friend of the established character, Krista Sinclair and Newton made his first on-screen appearance on 18 September 2024.
