If you love what you do, then you never have to work a day in your life. That is one expression that has imparted so many careers as people continue to turn passions into sources of livelihood. David Corenswet is currently the talk of the town due to his role on “The Politician.” He is a tall, handsome guy with dimples that has fans wanting to know more about him. Here are a few facts to help shed some light about the actor’s life and journey towards the limelight.
1. His family
David is from Philadelphia, where he still lives. His mother was a homemaker while his father was a stage actor. According to V Magazine, David’s father influenced his love for the physical comedies of the Marx Brothers. There are no details of siblings.
2. His education
David’s educational details are a bit scanty since he does not disclose what grades he was in at The Shipley School or what he studied at the University of Pennsylvania. Nonetheless, we know that he went to both institutions. The Shipley School was initially an all-girls school and began admitting male students in the 1980s when it also discontinued its boarding department. While at the University, David starred in a production of “Hairspray.” He was among the 60 dancers, and actors picked out of the more than 150 people who auditioned.
3. He starred in many student films
Once you know which direction you want your career path to take, making the first step and ensuring you do not stray will take you there. David must have known that he wanted to be an actor since his younger days. In high school, he was in many of the productions. Even as a freshman, he did not shy away from being cast in their productions.
4. His screenplay writing experience
In 2011, David wrote the screenplay for his first short film, “Following Chase” with Crossbow Studio. According to Crossbow Studio, the movie ran for 11 minutes and was under the action, teen genre telling the story of a young man who struggled to strengthen his confidence. David was not only the writer but the lead actor, Ted, who wanted to stay with Chase, his partner since it was his first mission. The short film was produced and directed by Greg Koorhan while Joe Moser was the composer. Leo Koorhan played the role of Chase.
5. He went to Juilliard
Juilliard has been recognized as the most prestigious school for those interested in pursuing artistic professions. Of course, with such a reputation to maintain, it restricts the students it accepts to only those with exceptional pre-college training. Hence, its acceptance rate is around 6%, but since David managed to get in, we can conclude that he is a brilliant man. The school has notable alumni including Kevin Spacey and the late Robin Williams. According to his LinkedIn Profile, David attended the institution from 2012 to 2016 when he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts having majored in drama.
6. His favorite directorial debut
You do not have to confine your abilities to what you are used to otherwise the walls you build will prevent you from knowing what is out there. Many actors and actresses have decided to give directing their films a try, and it worked out for the best. David Corenswet wants to follow suit, and he already has one person who inspires him. Bradley Cooper is a face we have become accustomed to after staring in many series like “Limitless.” However, his 2018” A Star is Born” served as his directorial debut showcasing his talents not only as a producer, writer and director but also a musician.
7. He had to learn Mandarin for a scene in “The Politician.”
China is the most populated country in the world, with more than 1.389 billion people. It is, therefore, safe to say that as a businessman if you tap into the Chinese market, you are already on your way to prosperity. A language enables people to connect, and the minute two people met, and they can communicate, then an instant connection is born. David, however, did not learn Mandarin for business purposes but rather to engage in an argument with his co-star Gwyneth Paltrow in “The Politician.” He confessed to being stressed out; after all, Mandarin has been ranked as the most challenging language to learn despite being the most spoken worldwide.
8. He will star in “Hollywood.”
Ryan Murphy has become a household name in Hollywood, and his work is always of the highest quality. Maybe seeing how some of the actors he works with are good enables him to pick them up for upcoming series without the need to waste time and resources on auditions. Hence, some actors Ryan Murphy has worked with end up being in other shows he produces. David is among the lucky few whom Ryan Murphy saw potential. David will therefore not only be a lead in “Hollywood”, but he will also be an executive producer. “Hollywood” has been slated to premiere in May next year.
9. Favorites
Black may be the color of mourning, but it has also been flaunted as the color of elegance. Matter of fact is that every lady must have a little black dress in her wardrobe. Well, even David shares the opinion of black being sophistication because it is his favorite color. When it comes to feeding David, you can never go wrong with pizza, and fries; dessert should be ice cream. With such an appetite for fast foods, you have to wonder how he manages to keep his athletic body.
10. He is fluent in French
Learning another language can be a challenge unless you have a keen interest because maybe it is a mandatory course. Although it is not clear whether David learned French as part of his course, the fact that he speaks French could make him a lady magnet. After all, they say French is the language of love. Living in the United States means he does not have the opportunity to practice speaking the language. It is, therefore, no wonder that his dream holiday destination is Paris.
