Dave Alspach

Biography:

Born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Dave was instilled with an unflinching spirit to perform daring stunts. At the age of 18, he toured the Pocono and Catskill Mountains as a professional diver with the 'John D. O'Keefe Aqua Revue'. This professed (and possessed) stunt daredevil would set himself ablaze and plunge into a pool 60 feet below his platform. Mediocrity has no room in the life of Dave Alspach. At the age of 19, he was a member of an elite Special Forces Team and served three years in Vietnam. However, his undying interest in the entertainment field increased in strength after returning to the U.S. He studied and appeared at the Guthsville Playhouse (credits of Jack Lemon and other stars) near his hometown as well as other regional theaters throughout the northeast. His efforts began to pay off after scoring acting jobs in New York theaters between menial jobs to pay the bills. Dave credits acting coaches and producers Joel Tellis (Guthsville Playhouse) and Blair Cutting (New York), who were instrumental in preparing him for his work. He is the co-founder of 'Best Little Playhouse in Tampa', a non-profit corporation that existed to provide the Tampa Bay area with professional theatrical productions while donating the proceeds to local children's charities. A move to Los Angeles to pursue his dream as an actor in 2000 resulted in many successes. Dave left Los Angeles several years ago to live in Louisiana near his daughter and 5 grandchildren. He continues to follow his dream as an actor, producer and writer.
