Geraldine Viswanathan is an Australian actress known for her breakout roles in both film and television. Born on June 20, 1995, she rose to prominence with her scene-stealing performance in the 2018 comedy Blockers, which was widely praised for her comedic timing and charisma. That same year, she showcased her dramatic range in the coming-of-age indie film Hala, earning critical acclaim for her nuanced portrayal of a Muslim teenager navigating identity and family. In 2019, she starred opposite Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney in Bad Education, further establishing herself as a rising star in Hollywood.

On the small screen, Viswanathan appeared in the Australian drama series Janet King in 2017 before gaining international attention for her role in the TBS anthology comedy series Miracle Workers (2019–2023), where she starred alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Buscemi. Her ability to adapt across genres—from heartfelt drama to absurdist comedy—has made her a dynamic presence in modern entertainment.

Born in Newcastle, Australia, Geraldine comes from a multicultural family. Her father, Suresh Viswanathan, is a nuclear medicine doctor of Indian Tamil descent, while her mother, Anja Raith, is a Swiss-born artist with a background in musical theatre and a family history in the performing arts. This rich cultural heritage, combined with her natural talent and magnetic screen presence, continues to shape Geraldine’s evolving career in the global film and television landscape.
