David Lee Huynh

Actor

Since David's high school offered the Theatre department almost no funding, he and his classmates got creative to produce ambitious plays like His Dark Materials, The Pillowman, and Waiting for Godot. They essentially formed a Theatre company - learning to build or scrounge for whatever they needed. They even converted their classroom into a black box theater, but a surprise visit from the superintendent forced them to change it back. This combination of resourcefulness and cheekiness made a mark on him during a formative time of his life. After graduating from the University of Houston Professional Actor Training Program, he worked across the country honing his skills at various regional theaters. He then moved to New York City and began working Off-Broadway and on film and television. ​ He is a 1st-generation Vietnamese-American actor based in NYC working in tv, film, theatre, and VO. He is also co-founder and producing artistic leader of The Sống Collective, a Vietnamese-American arts organization, and a TEDx Speaker.
