While Cameron Daddo is considered an emerging talent in
America, he is one of Australia's best known television personalities.
Stateside, Daddo is best known as
photographer Brian Peterson on Aaron
Spelling's "Models, Inc." However, Daddo
gained notoriety at the young age of 19
while starring in "Off The Dish," an
Australian show. As a Melbourne native,
his popularity in 'Dish' led to the creation
of "The Cameron Daddo Show." On the
game show "Perfect Match," Daddo
became the youngest primetime host in
Australian television history.
Daddo went on to star in the
Australian/Disney Channel co-production
of "The Heroes," and win an Australian People's Choice Award for
his leading performance in the drama series "Bony." He garnered
more accolades (two Logie Awards, equivalent to an American
Emmy Award) for his turn as a bicycle champion in the PBS-aired
mini-series, "Tracks of Glory."
Daddo has also appeared in "Between
Love and Hate," a television movie, as
well as George Lucas' "The Young
Indiana Jones Chronicles."
Stage credits include: Huckleberry Finn in
the Tony Award-winning "Big River," for
which Daddo picked up a Mo-Award
(equivalent to an American Tony) as Best
Male Performer of the Year; "I Hate
Hamlet," "Love Letters," "The Wizard of
Oz" and "The Hunting of the Shark."
A renaissance man, Daddo also
released a solo album in 1992 titled "A Long Goodbye" (No. 2 on
Australian charts) and won Best Country Vocalist at the Victorian
Country Music Awards. Daddo also has performed with aussie
bands Nearly Smooth Guys and Baby Jones.
