Police have launched a search for a former Home and Away star after he failed to appear in court for an assault matter.

Orpheus Pledger appeared on the popular soap from 2016 until 2019 and previously starred on Neighbours in 2011. 

Victoria Police announced a warrant for the 30-year-old on Wednesday.

Pledger was described as about 170cm tall with brown hair and tanned complexion. 

He is known to frequent Northcote, in Melbourne's inner north, and surrounding areas.

The actor made a name appearing in a string of popular Australian television shows over two decades. 

This began aged eight in 2001 with a spot on The Secret Life of Us and he had roles on Blue Heelers, McLeod's Daughters and House Husbands. 

Pledger's most recent appearance was on SAS Australia in 2022 but he left the reality program after just two days.
