Keith David in Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004)
KEITH DAVID (CIA Director) has an extraordinary range of talent, as evidenced by his body of work. In feature films, Keith will be seen this year in The Chronicles of Riddick as well as the television show The Big House.
David recently co-starred in MGM’s hit comedy Barbershop, Hollywood Homicide, Requiem for a Dream, and Pitch Black. Prior to that, David was featured in There’s Something About Mary and Armageddon. He received a daytime Emmy nomination for his work in Showtime’s The Tiger Woods Story. Other releases include Dead Presidents and Spike Lee’s Clockers.
David has narrated an extensive array of projects including Jazz, for which he received another Emmy nomination, Horatio’s Drive, Mark Twain, Spawn, Gargoyles, and the upcoming Jack Johnson. David can be heard commercially on behalf of BMW and the U.S. Navy.
Such a demanding schedule is nothing new to David. Immediately after his graduation from the Julliard School he was hired as an understudy for the role of Tullus Aufidius in Shakespeare’s “Coriolanus”; ironically, ten years later he co-starred in the same role and earned the Actor’s Equity St. Claire Bayfield award. In 1992, David was recognized with a Tony nomination for best supporting actor in a musical for “Jelly’s Last Jam.” Several years later he starred on Broadway in August Wilson’s “Seven Guitars.” Keith has performed his jazz/cabaret act at New York’s legendary Hotel Delmonico and the venerable Cinegrill in Los Angeles. He fulfilled a lifelong ambition by portraying “Othello” at the New York Shakespeare Festival.
David gained wide attention in 1986 for his role as King in the Oscar®-winning film Platoon. Other credits include The Quick and the Dead and Final Analysis.
