School / College / University
After finishing high school, he first studied Film and Video Production but soon realized his real passion lay in performance. That decision pushed him beyond Australia and onto the global stage. In New York, he trained at The Barrow Group Theater, gaining exposure to American acting methods and expanding his artistic foundation.
Back in Australia, Foster earned a coveted spot at the University of Western Sydney’s Theatre Nepean, one of the country’s top drama schools. He also spent two years at The Actors Pulse in Sydney, where he studied the Sanford Meisner technique and later returned as an instructor himself. Teaching advanced and intermediate screen acting became a natural extension of his growth.

Food Habits
Bren Foster eats with the same discipline he brings to his training. His meals are built around whole, natural foods—about 90% of his diet. That means grass-fed or organic meat as his go-to protein, fresh fruit alongside nearly every plate, and even a small serving of white rice before lunch for steady energy. He doesn’t shy away from organic full-cream milk either, making it a regular part of his routine.
What sets him apart is his philosophy. He doesn’t obsess over calories or follow rigid rules. Instead, he eats four meals a day until he’s simply “not hungry.” He welcomes healthy fats, doesn’t demonize them, and values nutrient density over restriction. On the flip side, Foster stays away from processed sugar, heavily processed foods, and seed oils whenever he can. Interestingly, vegetables aren’t really his thing—he relies on fruit for his micronutrients.

Jaylan Foster (Son)
Jaylan Foster is following right in his dad’s footsteps—but he’s making his own mark too. He started martial arts when he was just three years old, as the very first student in Bren’s “Elite Dragons” program. Now? He’s already a 1st Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo, holds a Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and a Purple shirt in kickboxing. That’s a lot of stripes for someone still so young.
What’s impressive is how quickly he’s turned skill into leadership. At only six, Jaylan cleaned up at the ISKA World Cup, winning events in BJJ, sword combat, board breaking, and showmanship—he even walked away with the Best Competitor award. Today, he’s the head instructor at Elite Martial Arts and the most active BJJ competitor in the gym, regularly racking up medals at high-level tournaments. On top of that, he runs the Children’s Elite Advanced Athlete Program and even helped with fight choreography in Life After Fighting.
Arielle Jean Foster (Daughter)
Bren Foster’s daughter Arielle is just as fierce as the rest of the family. She’s already stacking up titles that most adult fighters would be proud of. Right now, she holds the crown as the current Australian and Oceania BJJ Champion, proving she’s a force on the mats. On top of that, she’s also an ISKA World Cup Grand Champion and an ISKA Combat Taekwondo World Cup Champion—so whether it’s grappling or striking, she’s at the top of her game.
And it doesn’t stop at competition. She even stepped into the spotlight alongside her dad in his film Life After Fighting.

Net worth 2025
$5 million
As of December 2025, it’s estimated that Bren Foster has a net worth of about $5 million. He made this fortune from different sources. Let’s break those down:
TV and Film Work
Here’s the thing about Bren Foster: TV has been his bread and butter. His biggest paycheck days likely came from The Last Ship. Playing Chief Petty Officer Wolf Taylor across multiple seasons? That’s no small gig. Cable dramas around that time were paying somewhere in the ballpark of $15K–$25K per episode for recurring characters. Add it up across three seasons, and you’re looking at a solid six-figure yearly income—probably the backbone of his career earnings.
Before that, he did Days of Our Lives. Soap operas aren’t glamorous when it comes to money, but they’re steady. Around $2K an episode isn’t going to buy you a mansion, but being on-screen regularly gave him exposure and enough consistency to keep climbing. Then came films like Deep Blue Sea 3—straight-to-streaming villain roles can land anywhere from mid-five to low six figures, depending on the budget. Not blockbuster paychecks, but solid.
His Indie Baby: Life After Fighting
Now look, this one’s different. Bren wasn’t just the actor here—he wore every hat possible: writer, director, fight choreographer, producer, star. That means money didn’t just come from showing up on set; he had skin in the game. Indie films are tricky—sometimes you sink more than you make upfront. But here, he’s positioned to make money on the back end: streaming deals, licensing, festival sales. If this film builds legs, it could end up being more profitable than his studio gigs, especially because he owns so much of it.
Martial Arts and Teaching
This is where his “other life” feeds into his career. Bren’s a 7th Dan black belt in Taekwondo, plus multiple belts in other disciplines. He taught martial arts in Sydney, and later, acting at The Actors Pulse. Teaching doesn’t rake in Hollywood money, but it provided steady side income in his early days. Plus, that credibility opened doors for him in fight choreography. For a project, a fight coordinator can pocket $10K–$50K, depending on scale. Again—not millions, but enough to build layers of income.
Video Game Work
Remember the Mad Max video game? Bren did motion capture and voice work for it. Games don’t pay what films do, but lead roles in AAA titles can earn anywhere from $20K to $80K, plus potential residuals if the contract’s good. It’s not flashy, but it’s another stream that keeps money coming in.
