Cameron Daddo

Logie Award Winning Actor, Singer-Songwriter and Presenter

The Logie Award winner first started his modelling career when he appeared as a bunny at a tea party at only 18 months old. Years later, an eighteen-year-old Cameron would walk into a modelling agency to use their phone and walk out with a modelling contract.

Cameron would then spend the next two years making TV commercials and modelling in Japan and Europe. He also participated in the Australian version of "Star Search", winning the "Spokesmodel" category. Following his appearance in the talent competition, Cameron was cast as the host of the Australian Children's TV show, "Off The Dish", which spun off into his own show, "The Cameron Daddo Show".

At 21 years old, Cameron became the youngest person to host a primetime TV show in Australia. At the time, he was hosting Australia's number one program and game show, "Perfect Match".

After gaining experience as a host and presenter, Cameron then moved on to acting. Since moving to Los Angeles almost 20 years ago, he has made his way onto the big screen with roles in films "Anthrax", "Big Momma's House 2", "Passengers", and David Lynch's "Inland Empire".

Cameron's first acting role was in the 1989 miniseries "The Heroes" and then followed the successful stage musical "Big River", in which he played the lead role of Huckleberry Finn. Cameron received an Australian Entertainment "MO" Award (the Australian equivalent to a Tony Award) and was named Variety's Theatre Performer of the Year. The show ran for 15 months with over 1,000 performances. Cameron has also appeared in other theatrical productions, including "I Hate Hamlet", "Love Letters", and the Australian Opera's production of "The Wizard of Oz" (as the Scarecrow), and "The Hunting of the Snark".

In 1990, Cameron won the Australian People's Choice Award for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series for his performance in the TV series "Bony", where he took on the lead role. He also starred in "Golden Fiddles". Cameron's performance as a bicycle champion Don Walker in "Tracks of Glory" earned him two Logie Awards, the Australian equivalent of the Emmy Awards.

In 1991, Cameron married Alison Brahe, and the newly married couple moved to America in 1992 to pursue their acting careers. He landed his first US role in the 1993 TV movie "Between Love and Hate". Cameron then appeared alongside Sean Patrick Flanery, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Daniel Craig in "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles".

Cameron's breakthrough role in America came with Aaron Spelling's TV series "Models Inc." where he played photographer Brian Peterson. In 1996, he played Rollie Tyler, a special effects wizard, in "FX: The Series".

In 1999, Cameron earned the lead role as Minister Danial Cooper in the PAX TV series "Hope Island" after his performance with Jacqueline Bisset in the Australian TV movie "Witch Hunt". He then appeared as Jack Garrison Jr. in "Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story" and had several guest appearances in shows including CBS's "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "CSI Miami" along with "West Wing", and "Monk". After starring in the "Incredible Mrs Ritchie" in 2003, Cameron joined the "She Spies" cast in the show's second season.

Cameron continues to work between Australia and America, and in 2012 he took on a regular guest role on the Seven Network family drama series "Packed to the Rafters".

Cameron is also a singer-songwriter, and in 2012, he released an album of easy listening tracks featuring his vocals and acoustic guitar. He has also recently hosted local productions, including the children's reality talent show "Monster House", "With Friends Like These", and played a lead role in the telemovie "Scorched".
