A career across film and television
David Wenham is an Australian actor whose work spans film, television and theatre. He studied drama at Nepean College of Advanced Education, graduating in 1987, and later won an Australian Film Institute television acting award for Simone de Beauvoir’s Babies.
Australian television audiences came to know him as Diver Dan in SeaChange. That role sits alongside a varied body of work in Australian drama and cinema.
Internationally, Wenham played Faramir in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Return of the King. In the latter, Faramir faces both the siege of Gondor and the difficult expectations of his father Denethor.
