David Wenham was born on September 21, 1965. He is a famous Australian actor who has been on many television series, movies and theatre productions. He is the son of Kath and Bill Wenham and was born in Sydney, Australia. He is the youngest in the family. David Wenham has 1 older brother and 5 older sisters. Before becoming a famous actor, he worked as a bingo caller and insurance clerk.
His talent showed itself even as a young child, he was the class clown for making funny characters at school and he used to put on living room shows for his family at home. He pursued his acting at the Nepean Theatre School and started his career in popular series, Sons and daughters. He then became a working actor in many Australian TV shows such as A country Practice, Police Rescue in the 1990s. He earned several nominations from the Australian Film Institute Award for this role in Rowan's Wood films The Boys.
One of his famous roles includes Faramir from The Lord of The Rings Trilogy. He was chosen as a cast in this movie because he looked like his on-screen brother, Sean Bean. David Wenham notes, they both have big noses. Although he only appeared twice in Lord of the Rings, he was voted as best picture nominee three years in a row.
His role as Driver Dan, during the 1998 Australian television show Seachange has created him as a sex icon, though he doesn't wish thinking of himself that way. He didn't sign the contract for the 2nd season so, the script writers wrote him out. At one time, he was voted as Australia's sexiest man alive.
As he was in Hollywood, his presence continued to increase when he performed as Hugh Jackman's sidekick in the vampire action film Van Helsing in 04. After that he went back to Australia in '05 whereby he found a role for an arrogant and brutal lawyer in an award winning show The proposition. He also became a leading man when he gave a moving presentation as an honest man sustaining his household after losing a job in Three Dollars.
David Wenham began training on the gym for his Spartan warrior role on the popular film 300 around 2007. It had been an adaptation in the graphic novel of Frank Miller concerning the famous combat of Thermopylae in four hundred and eighty BC. This turned out to be a global smash hit that showed his position in Hollywood. However the actor still came back home to star in a very villainous character with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman in 08 film Australia.
