August Werner Schellenberg was born to a Swiss father and an English-Mohawk mother. He graduated from the National Theatre School of Canada in 1966 and began his acting career in theatre with a six-month tour of Ontario performing for high school students with the Crest Theatre. He made his film debut in Don Shebib's 1971 frilm, Rip-Off and worked steady in film and television for the next 40 years. He was nominated for a Genie Award three times, winning for his work in the Australia-Canada co-production, Black Robe. For his work on television he was nominated for two Gemini Awards, picking up the award for his work in the made-for-television movie The Prodigal.
In 2012, he performed the title role in an all-aboriginal production of William Shakespeare's King Lear at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. A long time resident of Toronto, Schellenberg now makes his home in Dallas, Texas.
