David Wenham grew up a creative child, but he could realize his talents only by participating in a church choir and Catholic Christmas performances.

In high school, the guy realized that he could achieve his dream when he broke away from his usual environment. After graduating from school, the future artist went to Sydney and began to attend auditions.

The actor got married, gaining first fame after the release of the film "Guys" in 1998. His wife was Kate Agnew, a compatriot with whom the affair lasted for several years.

The couple lives in Los Angeles and has two children - girls Eliza and Millie. The personal life of the star has developed happily, but he does not please fans with joint photos and did not start an account on Instagram, preferring to keep his relatives in the shadows from everyone's attention.

The actor is in excellent physical shape, although in 2015 he celebrated his half-century anniversary. With a height of 1.78 m, it weighs 74 kg.

Luck smiled at the Australian in 1988, when he was invited to play the role of Horrie Young in the serial melodrama Heroes. The series, previously popular, had lost its ratings by this time, but the beginning of Wenham's creative biography was laid. Participation in the project was the starting point for David and brought his first acting experience.

It took 2 years to wait for the second invitation. The aspiring artist was invited to an episode of the film "Heads and Tails", but Wenham was happy even to work in the crowd. David waited for the next role after 4 long years. And again the episode. It is not surprising to give up, but the Australian did not give up and continued to attend auditions.

David Wenham managed to get to the desired light at the end of the tunnel in 1998. He reincarnated as a former prisoner who is trying with all his might to fit into a normal life. The image of Brett Spregue in the drama Boys brought the artist recognition and opened him up to directors.
