Daniel Macpherson

Daniel Macpherson has hosted The X Factor, so a live show in front of a big audience is familiar ground, and that's the base he brings to MC work. On top of it sits an actor's timing. Many viewers first met him on Neighbours, a role that won him a Logie, and his screen credits also include The Bill and City Homicide. His career has moved between Australian screen roles and British television and theatre. One stage credit stands out: in Godspell, he alternated between Jesus and Judas on different nights. If your gala or awards dinner calls for a host the room will recognise, he's a strong option.
