Cameron Welsh: Mitch McColl
Cameron was born on March 9th, 1977. And at 22 years of age, Cameron Welsh joined Home and Away as Mitch McColl, a 16-year-old kid who has been kicked out onto the street by his stepfather and comes to Summer Bay. 
His motivation to make the move was to become an actor, but he actually did an apprenticeship as a chef! 
'It was a means to an end doing the apprenticeship, I knew I wanted to do some acting work, but knew it wouldn't happen overnight,' he says. 'It was a way to get Sydney and it gave me the flexibility to look around the city and to eventually find an agent.' 
Cameron worked in various restaurants and enjoyed the experience, and it also gave him the chance to check out the city of Sydney and decide where he was heading in life. 
After two years living in Sydney he found an agent and then the time came to finish up his apprenticeship, as acting roles started to come his way and it became a full-time job. 
Cameron has always had a passion for acting: he often wrote his school plays and was heavily involved with drama and music at school. 
Cameron also had his own band at school and they would often play gigs for his school and did some local gigs too. 
However, Cameron is no stranger to acting, having relatives in the industry and taking up private acting tuition with David Field in 1994 and a private acting workshop with Actors Centre in 1997. He also had lessons at 'On Camera Connection'. 
Cameron does have other television and film credits up his sleeve, including Wildside on the ABC; Talking, a film produced in 1998 by the University of NSW, and Sadness, a film produced by Film Australia. 
1998 was a big year for Cameron – he appeared in a Toyota ad, produced a theatre play called Bellydancing and organised the Kings Cross Theatre Festivale. 
But it is 1999 that has been the biggest year for Cameron, going for the role of Mitch McColl. After the initial audition he got a callback and screen-tested with Kate Ritchie, and then found out a couple of weeks later that he got the part. 
'I was very pleased about getting the role. It is such a great opportunity for furthering my craft and the fact that it is steady work for three years. That seemed appealing to me after having bit pieces here and there, and of course the idea of going to the beach to film with gorgeous women was also very appealing.' 
Cameron's character Mitch has had some bad luck in his life. Mitch's parents divorced when he was six and then his father disappeared shortly after being served with his child support requirements. Mitch's mother remarried, but the man in question resented supporting someone else's child when they were already doing it so tough. Stepfather and son endured each other for a number of years, but as Mitch grew older and began to assert himself a full-scale war broke out between the two. 
Mitch's mother was the only thing keeping Mitch on track and at home. But his mother was diagnosed with cancer when he was 12 and then passed away. He knew the only thing to do was to start a new life. 
 Mitch finds his way to Summer Bay and runs into some of the residents, but it is Hayley (Rebecca Cartwright) who has caught his eye, and he is not in a hurry to move on as yet. 
'Mitch is a bit of bad boy with a heart of gold. He is troubled by the events in his past, that seem to weigh him down, but he strives to go forward and hopefully people will see that and the fact that he is trying to get on with his life,' Cameron says about  his character. 
Cameron first appeared as Mitch McColl in Home and Away on the 15th of July 1999.
