Master of Ceremonies
Victor Parascos
Victor Parascos is an acclaimed storyteller who also loves an adrenalin rush.
As host of Channel Nine's travel show Queensland Escapes, Victor shared with audiences the vast and incredible natural beauty of Queensland – not to mention the buzz of rally driving, sky diving, big game fishing, kite surfing, rap jumping…all that 'normal' stuff.
Victor is also an accomplished actor and stuntman with leading roles in films such as Beauty and The Beast – A Dark Tale and Undertow. His long list of film and TV industry credits includes House of Wax, The Lost World, Beastmaster and Mako Mermaids.
Victor's recent work includes a supporting role in the romantic comedy When Love Springs released on the Hallmark Channel.
