Biografia
David Thomas Newman is an actor and producer in Los Angeles, CA. With films streaming on Apple TV, Tubi, and Amazon, as well as television appearances on Peacock, CBS, Hallmark, and Oxygen, Newman has quickly built a resume of notable credits in Hollywood.
Born in Bedford, TX, Newman spent his time outdoors playing street sports, cops and robbers, and pin-the-tail-on-the-horses next door. His imagination quickly led him to the theatre where he won awards for performances as Oronte in "The Misanthrope" by Moliere, Maxwell Smart in "Get Smart" adapted from the acclaimed series by Mel Brooks, and Jamie in the fantasy adventure story "Wildboy." Following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Newman achieved the rank of Eagle Scout alongside 8 of his childhood friends during his busy high school career juggling theatre, soccer, mixed chorale, chess club, lumberjack club, and his own televised variety news show.
Reluctant to grow up, Newman continued to act while working in the lucrative Oil & Gas industry. During weekends, Newman would audition for projects and take modeling classes at Neal Hamil Agency, while also using his Paid-Time-Off to shoot indie films. Once he landed the lead role of Dan in "Rebar," by Bilal Haider, Newman could finally scratch the performance itch, shooting an award-winning film in South Texas during the hot summer. The film garnered attention and impressed the judges of major film festivals like Dances With Films and the Oscar-Qualifying Festival HollyShorts.
Naturally, Newman swapped the warm colored Texas sunsets for the cool sparkle of Tinseltown by purchasing a one-way ticket to Lalaland. He is now acting and producing his own projects in Los Angeles, frequently collaborating with Oleg Zayanov.
Newman resides in San Pedro, CA, and goes camping as often as possible.
