Early life and education

Gurry was born in Melbourne, Australia. He got his nickname when his brother could not say Christopher so he said "Kicker". When he got into high school, he shortened it to "Kick". He studied at Wesley College, Melbourne.

Career

Gurry initially appeared in television guest roles in Raw FM, SeaChange, State Coroner, Wildside and Halifax f.p.. He then starred in his breakthrough Australian film roles as Jacob Coote in Looking for Alibrandi (2000) and Freddy in Garage Days (2002).

He went on to appear in American feature films Spartan (2004, alongside Val Kilmer and William H. Macy), Daltry Calhoun (2005, with Johnny Knoxville), Speed Racer (2008, with Emile Hirsch), Edge of Tomorrow (2014, opposite Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt), Jupiter Ascending (2016, with Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis) and War Machine (2017, alongside Brad Pitt).

He starred in several Australian television series including miniseries The Alice as Darren (2005–2006), seasons 2 and 3 of Tangle as Joe Kovac (2010–2012) and 4 episodes of Offspring (2012). He had appearances in American series Cybergeddon (2012) and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2014).

In 2016, Gurry joined the filming for American drama series Ten Days in the Valley (opposite Kyra Sedgwick) appearing as Pete Greene for all 10 episodes. In 2021, he appeared as Mac in the Australian ABC surf drama miniseries Barons.

In 2022, Gurry created, wrote and directed the 6 episode Stan original series Caught, as well as playing the role of Dylan Fox. American actor Sean Penn contacted Gurry to ask to produce the series, and also went on to star in it, alongside Matthew Fox, Susan Sarandon, Alexander England, Lincoln Younes and Bryan Brown. In 2023 the series was released in Australia to mixed reviews, but was delayed by UK streaming platform ITVx because of the start of the Gaza war.
