" The English Ryan Gosling with a touch of Michael Caine" 〰️

British born David Ellard's acting journey started at 10 years old when he played the lead in Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He loved being on stage and his talents eventually led to starring roles in high school productions of Zigger Zagger, Grease, Les Miserables and Back to the 80’s.

Along with his acting prowess David was a top athlete and captain of the school's soccer team.

An unfortunate sports injury ended his professional soccer aspirations and he focused solely on acting. He trained at AMAW London and IDENTITY Acting School with acclaimed stage roles as the lead in ALFIE , Eric Glass in THE INHERITANCE , John in YERMA and M in LUNGS.

Since his arrival in Southern California David has trained with Margie Haber, AMAW, Graham Shields, The Groundlings Theatre and currently at Lesly Kahn & Co.

"Acting continues to teach the complexities of being human, to be emotionally vulnerable and creatively open", David is unapologetically on his journey to greatness.
