About John Deeks

Born 1951. John Deeks is an Australian television presenter, voice actor, tV presenter and voice artist.

John "Deeksie" Deeks (born 1 May 1951) is an Australian former television, radio presenter and the long-time voice over artist on HSV-7 for the Seven Network (known as the 'voice of Channel 7'), where he has been working since 1975 based in Melbourne.

Biography For many years Deeks was the announcer who said "Come on Down!" on the Australian version of game show The Price Is Right, although frequently the program's host Ian Turpie is erroneously named as the person to voice the phrase. Deeks was also the announcer on game show Man O Man and presented the Tattslotto lottery draw for many years.

He has acted as announcer on several popular programs, making his voice and style highly recognisable, leading to his being cast as voice over artist in recreations of game shows in some dramatic works.

He is best known as the announcer of the now-defunct Wheel of Fortune (which he joined in 1984), on the Seven Network. He also broadcast on 3DB.

He also does the introduction to Wil Anderson & Charlie Clausen's podcast TOFOP.

He has come out as bisexual. He later has clarified that he is pansexual
