Dallas Campbell is an actor and writer whose curiosity and original mind have led him into a parallel career as one of television's freshest and most sought after presenting talents. He can currently be seen fronting BBC1's prime-time science show Bang Goes The Theory.

Prior to that Dallas co-presented Five's enormously successful The Gadget Show, where his exploits redefined the word 'geek'; racing jet powered street luges, wrestling robot jellyfish, testing the latest in gadgets of all sorts, as well as his proudest moment, breaking the Scalextric land speed record.

His passion for demystifying science, and for immersing himself in some the more off-piste areas of life, took Dallas to Los Angeles to work with Documentary legend RJ Cutler (The September Issue), on his own investigative comedy series Dallas Campbell's Guide To The Impossible for The Discovery Channel. It saw Dallas trying to have a crack at things which laymen aren’t supposed to be able to do; Going into space, breaking the men’s 100m sprinting record, or journeying to the centre of the Earth, for example.

Dallas studied English and Drama before becoming an actor. As well as many television roles, his theatre work brought him together with the late comic maverick Ken Campbell on a variety of harebrained projects, most notably The Warp ­- a 29 hour Fortean epic which made it into the Guinness Book of Records as the world longest (and possibly oddest) play.
