David Says ...
"I kind of fell into acting. I did Theatre Studies at A-Level and I had a very inspiring teacher who suggested I could do it for real"

After leaving drama school David first made a name for himself on the stage. He joined the RSC and played a variety of roles before becoming the talk of the theatre world when he was the first black man ever to be cast as a king of England. He played the title role in Henry VI to award-winning acclaim, and was asked to write a book about his experiences, which was published in July 2003.
