Julian Haig was born in Melbourne, Australia and is the younger brother of actress Georgina Haig, son of screen writer and directer Russell Haig and artist Gillian Haig.

The Haig family lived primarily on the Mornington Peninsula, an area south of Melbourne with both beach and farming culture. After high-school Julian steered away from the arts getting a Bachelor Degree in Sports and Exercise Science before making the move to acting and followed in his sister's footsteps. Deciding the right move was to study full-time acting, he auditioned for the full time Program at 16th St Actors Studio in Melbourne and was accepted. He graduated in 2015 and in 2016 made the move to Vancouver, Canada.

Since starting his acting career in Vancouver, Julian has landed roles on shows such as 'Arrow', 'Once Upon a Time' and most notably a reoccurring role on the hit show 'Riverdale'.

The dream still remains the same for Julian, to be a part of the film industry and get on set as much as possible, tell important stories, help people connect through art and lead a creative life.
