My name is David Michael Brown, but my friends call me DB or David (they’d tell you I’m not a Dave). As a David Michael Brown, I am one among many, but I’m also a single guy living in Brooklyn, NY, and an actor if that helps narrow things down.

I moved to New York in May of 2009 with eleven awesome actor-friends, one ridiculously full moving truck, and no knowledge whatsoever of what it takes to make it in the city. Just to clear things up, I still don’t have that knowledge. I make it up as I go.

It wasn’t always like this. In middle school, I concocted a life-plan which would have led me to become a married engineer by now. Fortunately, I failed the admissions interest survey for the local math, science, and technology magnet when it was discovered that I’d rather play outside with friends than stay at home fixing a broken watch. I guess it’s safe to say that in lieu of engineering, I chose to play with friends, which somewhere along the way turned into art.

Of course, then I came to New York, where engineers get paid and artists don’t. So now, as a function of necessity and an ironic twist of fate, I teach future-engineers how to do well on their SATs. I also build websites. I’m hoping that at some point this will allow me to keep playing with friends, and maybe at some point after that, create some art. Like I said, I don’t really have it all figured out yet.

I also love bourbon, fantasy novels, almonds, Kentucky basketball, and my guitar.

What? you want a real bio? fine.
