Wildman is fast becoming one the most recognized faces in documentary television. As the intrepid host of History’s hit adventure series, Cities of the Underworld, Don explored hundreds of mysterious tunnels, catacombs, crypts and bunker systems found beneath more than 40 cities and regions around the globe.
Carving his own niche as an “everyman expert,” Don works across a spectrum of subjects from history to engineering to sports adventure. On ESPN’s Men’s Journal, he paddled wild rivers in Chile, scaled towering mountains in Oregon, and fly-fished till he could fish no more. He hitchhiked as the creepy ghost-host of Travel Channel’s Weird Travels and voiced CNBC’s Ushuaia, The Ultimate Adventure.
Recently he hosted a 3-part historical investigation series entitled Filthy Cities, part of a joint venture between Discovery and BBC, which landed him on the slopes of Italy’s Mount Vesuvius, delving into the infamous tragedy of Pompeii.
Wildman is also the host of Off Limits, also on Travel Channel.
When occasionally not on the road, Don resides in Los Angeles, far from his New Jersey roots.
