David has done quite a lot of classic theatre such as Ibsen,
Rattigan and even some modern writers like John Godber. David has actually done
years and years of theatre, which gives him a lot of experience under his belt.
And after all of this great acting experience, which included a great deal of
improvisation, believe it or not, and working with some excellent teachers and
coaches, he began his formal training at the Bristol Old Vic. This was when he
was in his late 30s. What? That’s right, David Castleford did so many things in
the theatre for years and then he decided to seek training at the Bristol Old
Vic, which is considered to be one of the best acting schools in England.
After several years of serious thespian schooling, David
left (at 43) and got into film acting. He conquered two birds with one stone by
doing a number of short film projects. He added on camera acting to his already
extensive experience, and he got a show reel for his troubles. A reel, of course,
is what every professional actor needs in order to get future work. Instead of
just telling a producer or director what you’ve done, you can actually shoe him
or her what you’ve done on your reel.
David plowed ahead at full speed once he finished with
acting school. He procured a 01 visa and got an agent to represent him in
England and in Los Angeles. After fulfilling a few film engagements, along with
a web series, in England, David will be going to Hollywood to meet with
producers on an upcoming feature film.
David’s an interesting fellow. He’s done a lot of things in
his life and when he came to professional acting in his late 20s, he went at it
like Richard the Lion Hearted would have fought in the Crusades – with his
whole being. Not only is David a prime example of someone who attacks a goal
whole-heartedly, but also he is a true actor with enough skill and talent to
take him all the way to the BAFTAs (The British Academy of Film and Television)
and the Academy Awards in Hollywood. Some people are just not meant to be
stopped once they put their mind to something, and David Castleford is one of
those unique people.
WISH TO SEE HIM IN BIG FILMS AND ALL GOOD WISHES TO MR DAVID CASTLE FORD
