Despite
the superstardom he has enjoyed as a singer, David
still thinks of himself as an actor first. His
credits, from the phenomenal success of “The
Partridge Family” also include the telefilm “A
Chance to Live” the highest rated “Police
Story” in its seven year history, which earned
him an Emmy nomination as Best Dramatic Actor.
He continues to be seen on television, guest starring
in top-rated shows.
Never one to rest on his laurels, he went to Broadway
where he starred in the original production of “Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” London
beckoned so he starred at the prestigious West
End in “Time” with Sir Laurence Olivier.
In 1994 he once again broke box office records
in the stunning production of “Blood Brothers”,
starring with brother Shaun. The road tour of the
United States and Canada was SRO.
Although David has enjoyed tremendous success again in the last decade,
there were many rough spots in his personal and professional life over the
prior years. He has always been able to regenerate his success by keeping
his perspective and acute sense of humor. “I’m an optimist. I mean, you have
to be with my career,” he laughs. “I’ve never gone out and changed my style to
suit the times. I have always stayed true to myself by trying to sing about the
human experience. It’s important to reveal your own fragility, faults, and mistakes.
Bringing that human element to my work is the most important thing I can do as an
entertainer.”
