Favorite Type of Tree: Elm
By the time David turned 7, he had lived in Texas, the Netherlands, England, and Switzerland. No, his family wasn't in the military. Fortunately, things stabilized after that. He moved back to England where he spent the last 10 of his formative years, before finally reaching puberty, moving back to Texas, and going to college to study something other than drama, he doesn't remember what.
His professional acting debut occurred at the age of 8, when he was a guest star on a British TV show called Runaway Bay. He then became an accomplished voiceover actor, before making his West End debut at the age of 13 alongside Judd Hirsch at the Old Vic Theater.
In 2011 David began performing at the Texas Renaissance Festival, where he won Best New Character for his bi-curious Renaissance-era interpretation of Cyrano de Bergerac. From there, he was invited to participate in a combat show at Sherwood Forest Faire, where he was asked to play area fruity French guy. The result was François le Foutre, the self-proclaimed Most Fearsome Fruit in All of France, who became something of a legend in the Texas faire and con circuit. Foutre authored the gay pirate romance novel Theater's Seamen on the Poop-Deck!', the first book in the six-part Seamen Sexology, which has sold more than 69 Brazillion copies - despite being banned by the Texas Renaissance Festival.
It's hard to see how he was pegged to be a Tortuga, but the Twins found him in 2017. Frangelico first appeared at Bristol, before making his official debut at New York Renaissance Faire on Labor Day weekend.
