Career

Courtney's first appearance in a 2005 short film titled Boys Grammar, which also starred Daniel Feuerriegel and Adam J. Yeend. He appeared in Packed to the Rafters in Australia, then as a guest lead in the critically acclaimed All Saints, To Hell & Bourke, and several short films.

In the science fiction film Divergent (2014), Courtney played Eric, one of the faction's leaders. He appeared in Unbroken, playing Hugh "Cup" Cuppernell, and The Water Diviner, playing Lt. Col. Hughes later this year. In Insurgent, a sequel to Divergent that was released in March 2015, Courtney revisited Eric's role. Kyle Reese, one of the leads of the science fiction action film Terminator Genisys, appeared in the same year. He served on both Insurgent and Terminator Genisys simultaneously. Terminator Genisys received unfavourable reviews and performed poorly at the box office, as a result. Courtney was described as "too buff and bland" in Emperor Dan Jolin's review, Reese's role as Reese.

Courtney decided to appear in Captain Boomerang in the 2016 DC Extended Universe film Suicide Squad in March 2015. Critics blasted the film, with Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post describing Courtney "noly registers" in his role. Despite this, the company had a very profitable box office. In the production of Macbeth by the Melbourne Theatre Company in 2017, Courtney played the titular character. Cameron Woodhead of The Sydney Morning Herald praised his "imperfect command of the verse." In the thriller film Honest Thief, which was released in October 2020, Courtney played a corrupt FBI agent. Alonso Duralde of TheWrap praised his role as a villain. In The Suicide Squad, a standalone sequel to Suicide Squad, Courtney revisited Captain Boomerang. The film was released in August 2021 to a largely positive critical reaction. Courtney is expected to appear in Black Site's action thriller film Black Site, as well as the thriller series The Terminal List and Jigsaw.
