Many people come into this world and leave when their time comes. Death is the ultimate destination for every child who's born. Obviously, there are other things to get done before death finally arrives, but death is inevitable.

Among these two endpoints of birth and death there lies a life for people to love, enjoy and understand. They do all sorts of things to make the most out of it. Some use it to make money, while others crave fame. Whatever they crave some do get it while others stay back and imagine what that achievement might feel like. 

Among a little percentage of people who succeed to make fame, David Wenham is one. Let’s look into the life of David Wenham in his wiki-like biography.
