He’s one of Australia’s most popular entertainers. Boasting success in the charts, on the stage and the small screen – as both an actor, singer and presenter – David Campbell has enjoyed a career that most performers can only dream of.

Ahead of returning to the stage as the lead in an upcoming production of Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic flick North by Northwest, the 48-year-old versatile performer opens up to WHO about fame, family, holiday traditions and his hopes for the future.
