Maxine Ellah is a British-born actor and writer of Nigerian and French descent, based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Raised in a French-speaking household in London, her heritage deeply informs her grounded, emotionally intelligent approach to performance.

She recently appeared in ABC’s The Role of a Lifetime and SBS’s Erotic Stories, directed by Leticia Cáceres, and works across screen, stage, and voice in both local and international markets.

Maxine brings instinct, depth, and curiosity to every role. She’s committed to training her instrument and living a full creative life — often found watching films, swimming in rivers, or off-grid with no phone reception.
