David Rayden
I’m a full time professional character actor with great passion and integrity and, I’m told, engaging stage and screen presence, and very castable for many supporting character roles.
I trained in London and was awarded Honours and Merit from Guildhall School of Music and Drama for portrayals ranging from such classical work as Shakespeare & Molière, to more contemporary work.
Stanislavski famously remarked: “There are no small parts, only small actors”; something I believe all actors should fully understand and embrace: the whole of a story is truly the sum of its parts. When all players play their part, magic can happen.
I enjoy working with others to tell stories that move people: playing characters that are engaging and believable.
I’m terrible at self-advertising, but have some testimonials for you to read.

Testimonial
Gil Junger (Dir: 10 Things I Hate About You.)
Rockford: Think Like a Dog
(Post production – Megan Fox)
“David has the rugged handsome face of a man that has experienced a full life.
Within his first two sentences, my producer Andrew Lazar, (American Sniper, Cats and Dogs, Warner Brothers 25+years) and I looked to each other knowing we had found our man.
He was a pleasure to direct and delivered whatever I needed with the ease and sophistication of a seasoned professional, and held his own against accomplished Los Angeles based professionals.”

Harold: Playing Mathilde
“David did an excellent job acting the role of Harold in Playing Mathilde during our professional theatre tour in the South of France.
He was also conscientious, a great team player, punctual, efficient and very good with public relations.
I would highly recommend him as an actor and to be a part of any team.”

Capulet & others: Romeo & Juliet In pieces
“David played Capulet in a professional production of Romeo and Juliet at the Edinburgh Festival.
He is a diligent, hard working and committed actor who demonstrated tremendous skill and judgement as a professional performer with the company.
I recommend him to anyone seeking an actor with the ability, knowledge and attitude to contribute to successful professional theatre productions.”
Testimonial
Chen KunLi, Director: Ocean City
Captain Derek: Ocean City
I needed a professional foreign actor to play my captain. After interviewing multiple actors, David Rayden auditioned and I rejoiced: I had found my captain!
He played with humour, calmness during a storm, and a professional Captain’s demeanour.
Off screen, David was very humble and motivated. He has charisma and charm to get along with crew and actors.
David understood my requirements and ideas very quickly, and occasionally provided me with very constructive suggestions.
