Jolene Anderson - Biography
Jolene Anderson - All Saints actress

Jolene Anderson has been a popular cast member of Seven’s home-grown drama All Saints for more a year. Playing Nurse Erica Templeton has presented the young actress with plenty of opportunities to learn from her well-respected cast-mates and refine her acting skills. She describes her character as ‘a sweetheart and a ray of sunshine’ in the ER Department.

To prove that she’s keen to conquer other facets of her life, Jolene is about to embark on the biggest challenge of her life on It Takes Two.

Not that travelling to 32 countries during a three-year hiatus after school wasn’t challenging. From a young age Jolene was interested in drama and decided on returning to Australia that she would join the Actors Centre Australia.

All Saints was Jolene’s first major acting role and was thrilled in securing what she describes as a fantastic job on a major Australian drama. She looks forward to refining her acting skills and learning from the All Saints cast. The actress, who was thrilled to be presented with the opportunity to perform at Universal Studios in Japan during her travels overseas, is a bit of a music lover and is relishing the chance to develop her musical side.

Jolene loves the outdoors and enjoys swimming, surfing and yoga and when she has a spare moment she loves to write music, strum on her guitar and dabble in amateur photography.

Jolene is supporting the Cochlear Implant Centre-Ear & Allied Research (EAR) Foundation which offers a seamless service to all families, including children, adolescents and adults who are considering or who have received cochlear implants.

David Campbell - Biography
David Campbell - swing sensation

There is little doubt that David Campbell is one of Australia's hottest entertainers.

Comparable to Frank Sinatra as a classic all–around entertainer, David’s talent and diversity leads him as of one of Australia’s most popular personalities.

The proof is in his top musical honours at the 2006 Helpmann Awards as Best Male Actor in a Musical for his performance in Sunset Boulevard. Add to that his smash Platinum album The Swing Sessions and you know you have a seasoned performer imparting their wisdom on It Takes Two.

David has enjoyed an extensive career in musical theatre, which has been recognised by a host of awards. After years on the New York stage, David returned to Australia in 1999 to take the lead of Johnny O'Keefe in the record breaking rock’n'roll musical Shout!

In 2005, David co-hosted Australia's Top 20 Countdown on VH1 as well as Sydney’s number one night radio show, the Arse About Countdown on Nova 96.9 FM. He also joined a star-studded cast for a turn on the country’s leading TV program Dancing With The Stars. Whether on stage, in the recording studio, on the red carpet or on the radio, David’s infectious personality, wit and humour is embraced by critiques and audiences alike.

In 2006, David returned with The Swing Sessions and took the nation by storm with what he does best: singing sultry swing songs he was born to sing with a full orchestra backing him. The album was produced by It Takes Two’s very own musical director Chong Lim, and together with a full orchestra, David and Chong locked themselves away in a studio in Melbourne and recorded the album mostly live, in an old-school style, featuring all the classics.

"My heroes were the ultimate showmen, like Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr and Tony Bennett," says David. "What I've tried to do with this record is pay tribute to those men that made me the singer that I am."
