Following his matriculation, he joined the optical instruments production firm Cooke, Troughton & Simms, spending five years as an apprentice, and then left for London to join the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts to study acting.

His debut role came in a minor role in 1971 in the TV series “Nearest and Dearest”, after which he was selected for the role of Colin Woodcock in the TV drama series “A Family at War” (1972). He then ventured into theater by joining the Royal Shakespeare Company, and subsequently featured in numerous successful productions, including “King Lear”, “The Caretaker”, and “No Man’s Land” among many others, which increased his wealth.

David continued successfully, as in 2002 he portrayed Nigel Bray in the romantic drama film “Nicholas Nickleby”, and also featured in the thriller “This Is Not a Love Song”. Furthermore, starting in 2002 David appeared in 12 episodes of the TV comedy series “Wild West” until 2004, and in 2006 he was Sweeney’s Father in David Moore’s crime horror “Sweeney Todd”.

Quote
1 [on starring in An Adventure in Space and Time (2013)] When he asked if I would be interested, I almost bit his hand off! Mark [Mark Gatiss] has written such a wonderful script not only about the birth of a cultural phenomenon, but a moment in television’s history. William Hartnell was one of the finest character actors of our time and as a fan I want to make sure that I do him justice. I’m so looking forward to getting started.
