David Costabile Net Worth $15 million

David was born to Salvatore and Mary Costabile, and besides American, is also of Italian, Irish and German ancestry. After matriculating from Gonzaga College High School in 1985, he enrolled at Tufts University. He also attended New York University, from which he graduated earning his Master of Fine Arts degree in acting. Costabile debuted as an actor in 1995 on the Broadway stage in “The Tempest”, while in 1997 he appeared in the musical “The Titanic”. These engagements provided the basis for David Costabile’s currently rather impressive net worth.

In 1997, David made his on-camera debut when he appeared in one episode of the “Dellaventura” TV series which was followed with his first big-screen appearance in the 1998 action thriller “The Siege”. With the beginning of the 2000s, he began to appear in more demanding and notable roles, including starring in movies such as “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (2000) and “Stolen Summer” (2002) as well as in the TV series’ “Will & Grace” and “Law & Order: Criminal Intent”. In 2007 Costabile was cast as Doug in HBO’s comedy TV series “Flight of the Conchords”, but the real breakthrough in David’s career occurred in 2008 when he was cast for the recurring role of Thomas Klebanow in HBO’s crime drama series “The Wire”. It is certain that all these involvements helped David Costabile to add a significant sum to his net worth.

Between 2010 and 2011, Costabile starred in AMC’s two Golden Globe Award-winning crime drama TV series “Breaking Bad”, while in 2012 he portrayed James Ashley in Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-winning historical drama “Lincoln”. In 2013 David was cast for the role of Internal Affairs detective Simon Boyd in “Low Winter Sun” TV series, starring alongside Mark Strong, since when Costabile has added several more memorable roles to his professional portfolio, including appearances in TV series “Dig”, “Suits” and more recently “Billions”. Doubtlessly, all these ventures have helped David Costabile to dramatically enlarge the size of his net worth.

Apart from all those already mentioned, Costabile has also made appearances in several other popular TV series and sitcoms, including “Damages”, “Lie to Me”, “House” and “The Blacklist” as well as in movies such as “Solitary Man” (2009), “The Bounty Hunter” (2010) and “Side Effects” (2013). He also appeared in Manhattan Theatre Club’s 2007 production entitled “Translations”. All these accomplishments have added a sum to David Costabile’s wealth.

When it comes to his personal life, David Costabile has been married since 2012 to Eliza Baldi, with whom he has welcomed two daughters.

Quote
1 [discussing singing “Crapa Pelada” on Breaking Bad and his character, Gale Boetticher] The lyrics [of this song] are insane,” says Costabile, whose Italian heritage and basic “restaurant Italian” helped seal the accent. The jazzy, scatty “Crapa,” because of its demonically fast tempo, is also a bit of a tongue-twister. The lyrics tell a desperate story: “Crapa Pelada made an omelet and didn’t give any to his brothers, oh-oh-oh.” Ditto his brothers not sharing their omelet with Crapa. And there you have it. There was something so clear about how the song — perfectly out-of-the-loop idiosyncratic — fit that character, so it was very clear how it would go down,” says Costabile, who shies away from calling his character prissy. “Gale is ‘particular’ about many things in the world and has varied tastes,” he says, noting that Gale’s apartment contains a pair of skis, a surf board and even a picture of him on Mt. Everest. “The physical world was fascinating to him and he wasn’t going to be boxed in by anyone.” Gale’s singing “Crapa” pretty much nails that assessment.
