David Leisure
Biography
David Leisure is an American actor whose career began with a small part in Airplane! in 1980, playing a Hare Krishna. He grew up in San Diego and studied at San Diego State University before moving to Los Angeles. Acting work was scarce for a few years, so he turned to commercials, including a campaign for Bell Atlantic. The agency Della Femina Travisano & Partners hired him as Joe Isuzu, a pitchman who told obvious lies about the cars in North American television spots that aired from 1986 to 1990, with the character revived between 1999 and 2001. The popularity of Joe Isuzu led to a costarring part on Empty Nest, where he played Charley Dietz between 1988 and 1995. He later played Roger Wilkes on The Young and the Restless and appeared as the district attorney Charles Woods on Days of Our Lives, along with guest roles on many other series.
