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 character as Driver Dan, during the 1998 Australian TV show Seachange has made him like a sex image, though he doesn't prefer thinking of himself as such. He didn't sign the contract for the next season so, the script writers written him apart. At one time, he has been selected as Australia's sexiest man alive.
When he was in Hollywood, his profile continued to rise when he worked as Hugh Jackman's sidekick in the vampire action movie Van Helsing in 2004. After that he went back to Australia in 2005 where he landed a role as an arrogant and brutal lawyer in an award winning show The proposition. He also became a leading man where he gave a moving performance as an honest man supporting his family after losing a job in Three Dollars.
David Wenham started working on the gym for his Spartan warrior role on the famous film 300 around 2007. It had been an adaptation from the graphic novel of Frank Miller about the famous battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. This turned out to be an international blockbuster that proved his position in Hollywood. But the actor still came back home to star in a very villainous role with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman in 2008 movie Australia.
