From there, David began entering the world of feature films, with a supporting role in Gemini Man, directed by the Oscar winning director Ang Lee. His breakout role was in Clint Eastwood's Richard Jewell, playing Ron Martz opposite Olivia Wilde's Kathy Scruggs. [3]

Personal life

David is currently based in Atlanta, GA. His first taste of acting was in High School, with in his sketch group The Blueberry Johnsons. David and his best friends wrote and performed SNL style sketches, touring the local club scene in Providence, RI. From there, David moved to Los Angeles, embarking on the path to a professional career. He was accepted to the University of Southern California, where he lived off-campus in the Delta Chi fraternity house. He completed his college curriculum during the day, followed by acting classes at night. His mentors included the likes of Janet Alhanti, Margie Haber, and Ivana Chubbuck. While not working, he is involved with local charitable pursuits, such as using 'improv as therapy' to children with behavioral complications.
