The star-in-the-making already has a string of acting credits to her name, including as an extra in Home and Away<\/em> \u2013 and now sources tell Woman\u2019s Day<\/em> it\u2019s just the start of what promises to be a stellar career.<\/p>\n If you want someone who is able to bring your vision to life, I\u2019m your girl,\u201d Winter shares on her Casting Networks profile.<\/p>\n \u201cI adapt well, will listen intently to your direction and perform to my fullest potential in every scene.\u201d<\/p>\n Indeed, even at a young age, Winter has proven she will embrace a variety of roles. As well as her stint on Home and Away<\/em>, she has performed in theatrical performances of the Shakespeare plays Romeo and Juliet<\/em> and The Tempest<\/em>, as well as musicals The Lion King<\/em> and Chicago<\/em>.<\/p>\n Winter herself says on her online resume that she\u2019s an actress who thrives on \u201cdepth, edge and complexity\u201d, describing herself as someone who \u201cisn\u2019t afraid to disappear into a character and make people feel something real\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI care deeply about storytelling, not just on screen but in every moment of presence, through a look, a breath, a silence. I\u2019m constantly learning and obsessing over performance, psychology, and the magic that happens between actor and audience,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n \u201cBut beyond acting, I\u2019m someone who\u2019s endlessly curious. I live for music, films that twist your heart and mind, and long conversations that stretch into early hours.<\/p>\n \u201cI find beauty in contradictions, I wear black but weirdly love the colour pink, I crave solitude but feel most alive on stage and screen,\u201d she goes on.<\/p>\n \u201cI read endlessly and write what I could never say, except when in the mind of another character, it is my escape. I stare into the night too long and think a little too deeply about everything.<\/p>\n \u201cMore than anything, I want to create something that makes people feel seen, something they will forever search to experience again. And I\u2019m willing to do the work to make that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n While Winter is determined to earn her place in the spotlight, with her dad part of the family at Channel Seven, there are whispers that a bigger role on Home and Away <\/em>may be an option in the future.<\/p>\n Matt\u2019s a big fan of Home and Away <\/em>and knows what a great opportunity it could be. He\u2019ll always have her back, whatever she decides to do,\u201d an insider tells Woman\u2019s Day<\/em>, adding the star is \u201cincredibly proud\u201d of his daughter and wants to see her \u201cchase her dreams\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cMatt genuinely thinks Winnie has something special. He\u2019s always talking about how talented she is and how much natural ability she has,\u201d the source adds.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s not just saying that because she\u2019s his daughter \u2013 he really believes she could make a name for herself if she decides to pursue acting.\u201d<\/p>\n Indeed, the source says Matt is \u201cso proud\u201d of the young woman Winter \u2013 who is one of three children he shares with his wife Jessica \u2013 is becoming.<\/p>\n \u201cHe often brings her up with colleagues and tells them how great she is. He\u2019s her biggest cheerleader and loves seeing her discover what she\u2019s capable of,\u201d the insider adds.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, Matt knows the industry can be tough, but he\u2019d love nothing more than to see Winter get an opportunity to show people what she can do.<\/p>\n \u201cHe thinks she\u2019s a real talent, and while he\u2019d never want to push her into anything, he\u2019ll always encourage her to back herself. If acting is what she wants, he\u2019ll be right there in her corner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Matt Shirvington\u2019s 18-year-old daughter Winter is being tipped for a life in the spotlight.
