A veteran in the industry, David Knell has a career that spans three decades. He appeared on Broadway in his teens and, confident of success, he made the move to Hollywood. David has performed in countless television series and commercials, but he is probably best known for his work on the big screen. David’s breakthrough film was the starring role in the cult classic, “Spring Break” and he made a big “Splash” working with Tom Hanks and director, Ron Howard. He worked with Tom again in the comedy “Turner & Hooch”.  David even had the chance to implant the Governator himself, Arnold Schwartzenegger with a memory chip in “Total Recall”.

As much as David has always loved acting, his insatiable desire to be a part of the hands-on process of filmmaking called him to the other side of the lens. David became affiliated with a collective called The Filmmaker’s Alliance in 2001 and began writing, directing and shooting his own short films, which have played in film festivals across the country.

Recently David became a finalist in the Clipstar.com talent search with his short film “Ecstatic” winning the second round in the Acting Category. In November of this year, he will be competing with 35 other finalists for the million-dollar prize!

Working in conjunction with major casting services, David has developed online technology that assists actors in being seen by casting directors.  He is also an expert at producing creative and effective demo reels.

David is a thirty-year member of SAG, Actors’ Equity and a longtime member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.  Combining his knowledge and experience from all aspects of the industry, David knows the biz, and what sets him apart is his gentle even-keeled spirit and positive, friendly attitude.
