Brett Goldin was born in Cape Town and grew up in Johannesburg. He graduated from the University of Cape Town with a degree in theatre and went on to become a successful actor on stage, television, and film. He was best known for his role in the South African soap opera, 'Isidingo,' and for his performances in productions like 'Hamlet' and 'Measure for Measure.' Goldin was also a well-respected director and co-founded the company, Dogma, which specialized in African adaptations of classical plays.
