Born Luke James Bennett on 30th July 1988 in Lancashire, England. Parents: Sean Linden Bennett, a Highway Maintenance Supervisor; and Lyn Bennett, a Sales Manager for paper processing company.

Lukas Bennett was known growing up as the class clown, outgoing, and caring. Lukas always dreamed of getting into the film industry in any form and would often write sequels to his favorite films as a child, casting himself as the lead role. Lukas' parents often described him as living in a fantasy world or having pipe dreams, this was down to his parents modest and quiet life.

Lukas started his life as a performer travelling the UK and Australia as a stand-up comedian, as he believed it would be a short cut into acting. The financial restraints of being an upcoming comedian, and having to do so many shows in lieu before earning any kind of wage, drove Lukas to work on UK holiday parks and cruise ships that sailed around the coast of Europe. Lukas claims that this was a way to see the world, meet new people, be on a constant adventure, gain more life experience, while being paid.

Between jobs working on cruise ships and holiday parks, he managed to get small parts in low budget films, local theatre productions, student films, and even blockbuster movies.

Lukas claims he doesn't care what he does or how he does it, as long as he can put a performance to it.

In 2015 Lukas was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, which he still battles to this day. He states that he would've committed suicide if he wasn't scared of "messing it up", surviving, and being in pain. He states the thing that keeps him level-headed is his daughter.
