David Kuskie | ActorCV

I used to tell my friends I'd one day grow up to be a comedian, and they all used to laugh at me. Well guess what? No one's laughing now. I've been telling stories since before I could talk (well, maybe not before). I remember when my parents gave me a Talkboy and a video camera. I instantly became a star who could write, direct, act, and edit my own masterpieces (and force my parents to watch them). Growing up in a tiny Nebraska town meant I was basically already famous: the star of church plays, school musicals, and owner of the only mic at the local radio station. In high school, I juggled the public access channel, drama, speech, choir, and my sanity. Basically, if there was a chance to show off, I was there. Then I took an unexpected detour: six years in the U.S. Navy as an Electrician’s Mate, sailing the seven seas. I spent two years in Japan. After the Navy, I jumped right back into community theater, radio shows, and directing. I once played Oscar Madison in "The Odd Couple" while at the same time directing the show. The only downside was that I had a few clashes where both myself and I couldn't agree on the delivery of a line. After some time, I finally decided to get some real credentials: a Film degree from Full Sail University and an MFA in Acting for Film from the New York Film Academy at Los Angeles, where I briefly graced the screen on "Veep." Since then, my roles have ranged wildly from lovable goofballs to sinister villains. I've directed spooky classics like "The Monkey’s Paw," produced radio shows, ran the LARRS radio, and proudly contributed to the 2021 Gold Telly Award-winning web series "Donna on the Go." Whether I'm on stage, behind a mic, or gracing the camera with my truly handsome presence, I bring along the same gritty curiosity I've always had. Need a sarcastic cop? Got you covered. Charming sociopath with suspicious charm? Absolutely. Slightly unhinged hillbilly? Well that's my life. SAG-AFTRA Eligible. US Navy Veteran. Storyteller. Actor. Filmmaker. Still talking, still joking. 100% awesome, 100% professional.
