D.B. Woodside: Injury Turned Into A Blessing

dbwoodside

Actor David Bryan Woodside, or D.B. Woodside, was born in Jamaica, Queens, New York. David graduated from Yale School of Drama M.F.A. program, where he got into acting by accident.

“It’s actually an interesting story,” he told BBC.co.uk. “I was a football player and I hurt myself in my last year of high school and had to sit out of football for three weeks. I found it too depressing so I began wandering the halls of high school and ventured down into a wing that I’d never really gone down before because I heard music.”

“I happened on a dress-rehearsal for Brigadoon and sat down and lost myself in that world. I don’t do musicals but there was something fascinating about exposing myself to an art that I’d never really been involved with.”

And the blessings continues to grow. As D.B. continued to act, he began getting accolades from many of his co-stars. From the cast of 24 or most recently his co-stars in Single Ladies. Fellow actress, LisaRaye McCoy stated that, “He’s the best actor I’ve ever done a love scene with.”
