His debut with this first theatre company was in Oliver!. Also, at this time he and his brother formed a vocal duo and performed on many occasions. They played at weddings, charity events, and some large concerts.
Dennis was convinced by the age of 14, that he wanted to go into the entertainment business.

In the following five years, he worked hard to gain knowledge and experience.
He has two brothers Chris Dennis and John Dennis. His older brother, John, was killed by a drunk driver at the age of 12. Of the sentencing, Dennis has said: “That driver was fined just $50 for what he did. And that same weekend someone who killed a koala at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary got fined $200. So… well, that’s hard.” Dennis has used the incident to raise awareness about drunk driving via his Twitter account.
