There is no denying the versatility of most of today's TV stars. If you believe you can get away with possessing one skill, then think again.

Two prominent stars who have had a mixture of experience and mixture of mediums are Australia's Holly Brisley and Daniel MacPherson. Read their profiles:


Holly Brisley HS
Holly Brisley first hit our screens as co-host of 'AGROS CARTOON CONNECTION' at the tender age of 15 (although producers thought she was 16) and has been in constant acting and presenting work ever since. Some of Holly's presenting credits have included: 'Music Country', 'Beauty And The Beast', 'The Panel', 'Under The Hammer', 'Escape With ET' and 'The Looney Tunes Show'.

However, it was her charity appearance for the 'Molly McDonnell Epilepsy Foundation' on smash hit series 'Dancing With The Stars' that propelled her profile nationwide. Holly danced her way through 9 (out of 10) episodes to become Queen of the dance floor and ranked third on final tally.

Holly is now starring on 'HOME AND AWAY' as series regular Amanda 'the vixen' Vale and later in the year will host her own program, also for the Seven Network, of 'WORLDS CRAZIEST VIDEOS'. Holly's career continues to go from strength to strength and she recently joined the 'AAA' list ranks alongside, Britney, Pink, our own Miss Universe and Delta to become official celebrity ambassador for 'PEPSI'.

Daniel
Daniel MacPherson began his acting career as Joel Samuels in the Australian TV series Neighbours, and instantly became a show favourite. In 1999 he won a Logie Award for 'Most Popular New Male Talent'. In 2001 he was nominated for a Silver Logie in the 'Most Popular Actor' category.


Finishing on Neighbours in 2001, Daniel moved to London to work on his theatre craft, where he played to packed houses in the West End tour performing BOTH Jesus and Judas (on alternate nights) in hit musical Godspell. The accolades from critics and media attention read - “a revelation”; “charismatic”; and “a real find” - led to his regular television role on The Bill playing PC Cameron Tait.

Viewed by over 10 million Brits twice weekly, and seen in Australia on the ABC, Daniel again made an immediate impact. Daniel was nominated for a British National Television Award in October 2003 for 'BEST NEWCOMER'. After finishing on The Bill Daniel starred opposite legendary actor Edward Woodward in the 14th Century play The Mysteries in London's Canterbury Cathedral, receiving rave reviews.

After seven years away - four in Melbourne, Australia working on Neighbours and three in London Daniel arrived back home in Sydney Australia, November 2004.

He was immediately offered the role of host Network Ten's hugely successful The X Factor and offered a television drama development deal through Network Ten Australia.
Daniel was one of five Network Ten personalities to host Good Morning Australia in June securing his place as one of the Networks stars.
