David has written for stars such as John Cleese, Kelsey Grammar and Liz Hurley. With his wife, Hannah, he has directed four movies. Originally from the UK, David has appeared in plays on the West End and on TV & film on both sides of the Atlantic.

David considered retiring after that peak, but was sadly broke, so had to keep surviving the dream.
