Newton has performed in Australia and abroad on stage, television and movies.

1988

In 1988, he starred in Sugar and Spice, a children's television series.

1992

In 1992, he starred in Late For School, a drama series that aired briefly on Channel Ten.

1993

In 1993 he made his motion picture debut, appearing in the Australian independent satirical science fiction body horror movie Body Melt.

In 2000, he starred alongside Pia Miranda in the film adaptation of the teen novel Looking for Alibrandi.

2001

In 2001 he appeared in the Australian/American science fiction show Farscape as the character Jothee, and as the vampire Armand in Queen of the Damned (in 2002).

His acting career was interrupted by treatment in a psychiatric unit for bipolar disorder after several incidents of domestic violence and assault, which were widely reported in the Australian media.

2005

In 2005, Newton starred in The Surgeon, which aired on Channel Ten.

2006

In 2006, he appeared in the first and second seasons of improvisation comedy show Thank God You're Here.

Newton also starred in a TV series for TV1 called Stupid, Stupid Man set in the office of a fictional men's magazine called COQ where he plays Nick Driscoll, the features writer.

In 2006, Newton appeared on the New Year's Eve 2006 episode of The Big Night In with John Foreman on Network Ten in which he engaged in simulated sex acts and other suggestive activity.

The Daily Telegraph reported his antics and the station received criticism from outraged viewers who complained the show was "sub-standard coverage" and "the worst ever".

In 2006, Newton split with Brooke Satchwell.

Newton was arrested on 16 October and charged with intimidation and assault occasioning actual bodily harm over incidents alleged to have occurred on 13 September and 6 October.

He denied the charges.

2007

On 15 January 2007, Newton was fired from his new role at Nova.

He had recently been signed to co-host The Matt and Boothy Show with comedian Akmal Saleh in the prime time drive shift on Fridays.

The Daily Telegraph confirmed that Newton announced the radio station had released him from his contract, reportedly worth up to $200,000 a year.

The station suspended his involvement in the broadcasts, which were due to begin on 15 January, after allegations were made public that he had assaulted actress Brooke Satchwell, his then-girlfriend.

Television actress Kate Ritchie replaced him at Nova.

Newton was originally charged with four offences, but on 21 May 2007 a court heard he would plead guilty to one count of common assault – with police agreeing to drop counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and stalking and intimidating Satchwell, intending to cause her to fear physical or mental harm.

On 12 June, Newton appeared in court and pleaded guilty to the one count of common assault and was put on a 12-month good behaviour bond.

Magistrate Paul Cloran, who recorded the conviction against Newton, acknowledged that although the actor received some character references from friends and family he felt compelled to record a conviction.

In July 2007, Newton had his conviction overturned based on medical grounds.

Solicitor Chris Murphy tendered a letter from Dr Robert Hampshire, Newton's psychiatrist, which outlined his depressive illness and stated he was unlikely to reoffend.

Judge Joseph Moore said, "It does not in any way lead the court to give special consideration to his case because he is a person of high profile", referring to Newton's celebrity status; and, "The way in which he has been given particular media attention has acted as a considerable measure of punishment."

2008

In 2008, he was reportedly close to being cast for a role as a gangster in the first season of Underbelly, but did not get the role.

He went on to appear in Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities as protagonist Terry Clark.

Newton wrote, directed and starred in the feature Three Blind Mice, which made its international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and won the Critics Prize at the 2008 London Film Festival.

In November 2009, Newton's hotel room in Kings Cross, Sydney, was trashed after the GQ Men's Award Night.

According to media reports, the damage to the room was over $9,000.

The room was booked in the name of his then girlfriend Rachael Taylor and he departed the next day without checking out.

New South Wales Police investigated the matter but no charges were laid.
