The PRES graduated from a Bristol grammar school, participated in the races for short distances, played rugby. At the age of 13, the teenager had a knee swollen, he lay down in the hospital for a year, and then he wore a bandage as much as much.

The acting biography of the prose began in 1967 by the role of Frankenstein's monsters in the film "Piano Casino" ", ridicuing the cycle of James Bond.
The "Clockworking Orange" Stanley Kubrik became a prominent picture filmography. The actor played a small role of Juliana, Muscular bodyguard of the writer Frank Alexander, Alexander's victims. It was there that he noticed George Lucas.

On samples in the first film of the trilogy "Star Wars" David offered the main roles of Darth Vader or Chubakki. He chose the first option, explaining this by the fact that the viewers better remember the villains.
Darta Vader David played only visually. The voice was not enough and frightening, and the director George Lucas considered him unpleasant. Therefore, he voiced the character James Earl Jones. Knowing it, the Briton sometimes uttered his replicas deliberately with a ridiculous voice or carried "chief".
Lucas, who never liked to directly, neglected the character. PRESH did not receive any instructions on how to play. The artist independently developed a gait and manner of the hero, so the cult status of Vader is in many ways to his merit.
The face regretted that in all three films wearing a mask. He also wanted to achieve recognition as Mark Hammil or Harrison Ford. At the end of the "return Jedi" Vader filmed a helmet, but in this scene another actor played by Sebastian Shaw. David was offended because the producers promised that the audience would see his face. The contract also suggested that the bodybuilder will receive a share of rolled ribbon, but this did not happen.

In early 2009, David discovered prostate cancer. He called for men more often to contact the doctor and do not shy the necessary procedures.

The representative of the organization asked whether the survey was held by the PRES himself, which he confidently answered:
