Don Wildman

Actor, ProducerBorn March 21, 1961 (64 years)
Don Wildman is a television host, narrator, producer, stage actor, historical investigator and historical professor.

He trained as an actor at The Drama Studio in London, England. During his many years in New York, Don divided his time between a busy commercial career and stage work. He appeared in Moisés Kaufman's acclaimed "Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde".

He began working for the Travel Channel in 2003 with Weird Travels, a documentary television show made in the United States about international paranormal destinations. The show aired from 2001-2006, but Wildman was only involved from 2003-2005.

He continued his work with Travel Channel in 2007 with two shows, The Incurables  and Cities of the Underworld, which ended in 2008 and 2009, respectively. In 2011, Wildman hosted Pompeii: Back from the Dead and he has been working at the channel ever since. His most successful tv show to date was Mysteries at the Museum which ran from 2011-2020.

As host of ESPN's Men's Journal, Travel Channel's Weird Travels and CNBC's Ushuaia, global adventure became a trademark.
