​Steven 'Bajo' O'Donnell 
is an Australian television presenter, twitch streamer, actor, writer and video game critic. 

Steven's other interests lie in improvisational comedy, technology, video games, science fiction, and writing about himself in the 3rd person.  Steven really enjoys that.  Steven is great.

BACKGROUND
Steven grew up in Queensland, and moved to Sydney in 2001 to pursue a career in film and television.   One might say he followed his dream! Others might say he found university really hard and this was a romantic way to avoid real world responsibility at the time.

TV AND FILM
Steven has been a tortured artist, a hero bartender, a stuttering production assistant, but he usually defaults into what is known as 'classic awkward guy who people find off-putting'. He also has done some acting! I'll show myself out.

Steven has acted in a variety of independent features.   In 2006 he got his first break into television presenting, hosting a live Quiz show called Midnight Zoo for the 7 Network.

In 2007 he started hosting the award winning ABC2 show Good Game and it's sister show in 2010, Good Game Spawn Point. Good Game ended in 2016, after a 10 year run.  He currently still hosts Spawn Point today.

In 2016, Steven acted in his first lead role in a tv series, the narrative comedy called 'Trip For Biscuits', available March 3rd 2017 on ABC ME and iview.

In 2017, Steven became a regular panellist on the Doctor Who talk show Whovians, hosted by Rove
