Cameron Daddo
Cameron Peter Daddo (born 7 March 1965) is an Australian actor, musician presenter and radio host. He is known for hosting 1980s dating game show Perfect Match Australia and 2007 reality show Pirate Master on CBS, as well as playing Brian Peterson in American soap opera Models Inc. and Evan Slater in Australian soap opera Home and Away. He also starred in F/X: The Series, Hope Island, and She Spies.
Daddo was born in Melbourne, Victoria, on 7 March 1965, to Peter and Bronwen Daddo. One of five children, he grew up on the Mornington Peninsula alongside older sister, Belinda, and three younger brothers, twins Andrew and Jamie, and Lochie. Andrew and Lochie are fellow actors and television presenters.
His father was transferred to the United States when Daddo was sixteen, and he subsequently studied two of his school years in New Jersey. At age eighteen, he returned to Australia, where he graduated from high school.
Daddo began playing piano when he was seven, and at the age of twelve, he taught himself how to play guitar. He also sang in school choirs. His first foray into entertainment began with busking in Melbourne with a friend from school. They went on to form 'The Nearly Smooth Guys', and played in clubs around town. This led to Daddo participating in the Australian version of television show Star Search, making it to the finale and winning the Spokesmodel category.
After scoring a modeling contract, Daddo spent two years filming television advertisements as well as modelling in Japan and Europe.
Daddo's first television role was as host of a children's show called Off the Dish. He soon hosted The Cameron Daddo Cartoon Show, before replacing Greg Evans as the host of dating game show Perfect Match Australia from 1987 to 1988. He was 21 years old, which made him the youngest host of an Australian game show.
Following his hosting roles, Daddo turned his hand to acting, with a role in 1989 miniseries, The Heroes. The same year, he scored the lead role of Huck Finn in the stage musical Big River. Daddo's performance won him a Mo Award, and a Variety Theatre Performer of the Year accolade. The production ran for 15 months with over 1,000 shows.
Daddo next appeared in the 1990 telemovie series Bony, playing a detective and the fictional grandson of Napoleon Bonaparte, the protagonist in 29 detective novels by Arthur Upfield. His character was said to be a white man raised by Aboriginal people. An Aboriginal uncle serves as his mentor. The role won him a People's Choice Award for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series.
