Da Vinci's Inquest is a critically-acclaimed weekly prime-time procedural drama in the mold of CSI or Law and Order. Now in its seventh season of production, the series airs on the CBC and in 45 countries around the world. 91 one-hour episodes are available for airing in the domestic U.S. television market beginning September 17th 2005.

Coroners, pathologists and homicide detectives inhabit a murky world as they attempt to solve the mysteries behind the unnatural, accidental, or suspicious deaths committed in the city's back alleys and bedrooms. At times selfless, at times grudging, they all have agendas and history, passion for their work, and ambition for their futures. Charismatic, controversial and mercurial Coroner DOMINIC DA VINCI (NICHOLAS CAMPBELL) is the pivot around which this complex world spins.

Da Vinci's Inquest won more than 35 industry achievement awards in its first four seasons, and the Gemini for Best Dramatic Series every year since its inception. Every episode of "Da Vinci's Inquest" blends contemporary and sometimes controversial social subjects with topical issues of law and order, all explored through the eyes of a coroner who can't resist a battle for justice in this long-running, highly acclaimed, award winning series.

NICHOLAS CAMPBELL (Dominic Da Vinci) is a true original, and anyone who's ever met him or worked with him, from Sir Richard Attenborough (A Bridge Too Far, 1977) to David Cronenberg (Naked Lunch et al, 1991) and from Allan Moyle (New Waterford Girl, 1999) to the guy he buys his racing form from, will assure you of that.

Campbell is a critically acclaimed and multi-award winning actor who has played everything from handsome charismatic leading men to undercover cops to psychopaths. As a director, he has taken chances that many veteran filmmakers would balk at, and in his off-screen life, he is known as hard-living, disarmingly frank and bitingly funny, with a taste for gambling and enduring passion for horse racing, music and his kids.

Campbell has won three Gemini Awards and been nominated for seven. For his portrayal of modern-day Renaissance man and Vancouver Coroner Dominic Da Vinci in Da Vinci's Inquest, Canada's most popular dramatic series, Campbell has been nominated for three Geminis, winning Best Performance by an Actor in a continuing leading dramatic role in 2001.

CHRIS HADDOCK (Series Creator, Writer, Executive Producer) is the driving force behind Canada's top-rated dramatic series. In 2001, Haddock was honored with the triple crown in Canadian television, winning Gemini Awards for Best Dramatic Series, Best Writing and Best Direction. He has been awarded five Gemini Awards for Best Writing for each of the series' previous seasons, and Da Vinci's Inquest also won the Gemini Award for Best Dramatic Series for four consecutive years.

In addition to Da Vinci's Inquest, Haddock also created last season's The Handler, a prime time series for CBS, which he also executive produced. The critically acclaimed series starred Emmy Award-winner Joe Pantoliano as an FBI agent training and handling undercover agents in Los Angeles. Haddock also executive produced and co-wrote The Life, a television movie for CTV starring Bruce Greenwood as a police officer who struggles to help drug-addict residents in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

Haddock Entertainment is synonymous with original work that reflects Haddock's Vancouver roots. And as Da Vinci's Inquest moves forward, Haddock continues to build his company by producing original television programs, feature films and music with an adult sensibility. He is currently developing a crime noir musical, two features, and an HBO movie.
