Davids’ first movie acting job was a bit part as the ‘Blonde DJ & camera man’ in the 2000 film ‘Shiner’ (starring Sir Michael Caine). David is seen here (right) being bullied by Michael Caines’ character to make his boxer look like the Star and not the opponent. Michael Caine was so nice to David and to break the ice he told David a rude but funny joke. David can also be seen here (below) with Caine and Andy Serkis (Gollum in The Lord of the Rings trilogy and King Kong). Not only was David lucky enough to work with these two great actors but he even had the luck to work with screen legend Martin Landau who played Michael Caines rival US boxing promoter.
‘Shiner’ Directed by John Irvin.

The scenes were filmed in a 17th Century house near Windsor. It took 30minutes in makeup and 20minutes in wardrobe for David to turn into his character. On the day that David had his scene with Claire Danes he was lucky because the Unit wrap was 10am; that was only about a 2hour filming day! This was because Claire had to go and prepare for the UK premiere opening of ‘Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines’ in which she was one of the main Stars.
‘Stage Beauty’ Directed by Richard Eyre.

In the film ‘Stage Beauty’, David played a Painter Pupil to Sir Peter Lely who was played by actor Tom Hollander (Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3) who looked almost identical to a self portrait of the painter himself. In 2005 David would work with Tom Hollander again when he became his stand-in on the Ridley Scott movie ‘A Good Year’.

David has always liked comic book movies so he didn’t pass up the opportunity of being in the Vertigo DC comics movie ‘V For Vendetta’. He was directed by the Wachowski brothers (Matrix trilogy) who were on set helping the Director who was their 1st AD on the Matrix films.

David played a ‘V Street Vigilante’ in the final climaxes of the film. ‘‘There were three other actors and myself who were chosen to be the main V Vigilantes; we all were holding weapons we use to kill the Finger Man who has just shot dead the little glasses girl. One guy was given a wine bottle, another a shovel, and the other had a wrench. When it came to me the props guy saw my Nike rucksack I had with me and he said he liked the style of it and could I use that. Jokingly I said - great I get to beat a guy up with my bag! He replied - pretend it’s full of bricks.’’
‘V For Vendetta’ Directed by James McTeigue and Written & Produced by the Wachowski Brothers.

David was a Production Assistant on the Hallmark movie series ‘Dinotopia’ in 2001 but he still managed to get the Waterfall Citizen gear on and make it onto the ‘Dinotopia’ Poster. David is ringed in red on the poster.

Even though David was an additional Third Assistant Director on ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ movie he still managed to appear in a quick cameo. David had always wanted to be in a movie scene similar to ‘Independence Day’ running away from a giant Space Ship attacking earth. Well on one Saturday morning in 2004 this was his chance! After an OK from the Production Manager he donned a business suit from wardrobe and got into position on set. The set was just outside Moorgate tube station London. The scene was the Vogon ships 10 second countdown ready to blow up the earth. Though it was a brief scene David got into the teaser and feature trailers for the movie (You can download the Feature Trailer below).
‘David also got to meet the family of Douglas Adams (The writer of ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’); sadly Douglas Adams passed away in 2001.
