Who are Tuuli Narkle’s parents?

Tuuli Narkle was born to Yued and Wiilman Noongar in South West, Western Australia. She was raised in rural Western Australia by Dempsey Narkle and Sanna Vuorinen-Akkanen and is of Aboriginal and Finnish descent.

Tuuli’s initial exposure to the performing arts began with her training in folk dance and gradually expanded to acting and singing. Tuuli was accepted into the acting program at John Curtin College of the Arts as a teenager and then went on to the Charlesworth Ballet Academy to further hone her skills in classical ballet, contemporary and character dance.

Ruby was her first major role in Jane Harrison’s Stolen, directed and produced by Leah Purcell. Tuuli was inspired by this experience to apply to NIDA’s (National Institute of Dramatic Art) bachelor of fine arts program, where she graduated in 2018.

Tuuli was cast in Winyanboga Yurringa at the Belvoir St. Theatre after completing her degree, and then joined the cast of Black is the New White at the Sydney Theatre Company. She played Belle in All My Friends Are Racist and Mary in Mystery Road: Origin in 2021. She played Miss Lacey in the 2022 miniseries Bad Behaviour.

In June 2023, the cast of the upcoming Australian series NCIS: Sydney will be announced. They include Tuuli Narkle. If you didn’t know, the prestigious AACTA Award has been presented to a famous Australian film and television star. After making her significant acting debut almost a year earlier, Tuuli won her first AACTA Award for her role as Mary in Mystery Road: Origin.

In NCIS: Sydney, Tuuli Narkle, who starred in Mystery Road: Origin and Bad Behaviour, plays AFP Liaison Officer Evie Cooper. The web series, which is currently in production, will certainly benefit from the actress’s skills. Just a few months ago, in May 2023, Tuuli and Sean Sagar were spotted heading to North Bondi with their crew to film scenes for the first international series of NCIS.

Of course, Tuuli is quite excited about her career adventure NCIS. Her “dream role” with her “dream team” has been teased and promoted the show on her social media pages for a while now.

A “talented and diverse” team of US NCIS agents and Australian Federal Police are said to feature in the series as they are placed into a multinational task force to tackle maritime crime in the most contested part of the world’s oceans.
