David Sparrow

David Sparrow is an actor who was born in Solihull, Warwickshire, and moved to Toronto as an infant, and he studied English and writing at Stong College at York University. In 1989, while teaching at Humber College, he crashed an audition and joined the Second City National Touring Company, based in Toronto. More than eighty film and television parts followed, among them Serendipity (2001), Star Trek: Voyager (1995), Monk (2002) and Shall We Dance (2004). His stage work has taken him across Canada, and he wrote, acted in and co-directed The Honey Murders, a sold-out comedy staged at The Sacred Fools Theatre in Los Angeles in 2001, where LA Weekly likened him to Ralph Kramden. Sparrow has also written short films, a feature, pilots and sketch comedy, and in 2007 he and Yuval Daniel co-wrote and co-produced Teddy Bear, in which he played a serial killer. Super Channel broadcast that film, and festivals responded well to it.
