David Castro, a multifaceted American actor of German, Irish, and El Salvadorean heritage, has made a lasting impact in the realms of theatre, television, and film. His paternal lineage is steeped in notable achievements, as his father, Charles Dale Everhart, was a distinguished naval officer with a 30-year career and later served with the CIA for 15 years, earning a revered place at Arlington Cemetery.
Castro's maternal roots run deep in El Salvador, where his mother, a native of the country, was crowned Miss Central America and Colombia in the early 1950s. This rich cultural background has undoubtedly influenced Castro's artistic pursuits.
One of his most memorable performances was his portrayal of Jesus in the national tour of Neil Simon's THE ODD COUPLE, a female version of the classic comedy. The show, which starred Barbara Eden, Larry Thomas, and the late Shirley Prestia and Elisabeth Alley, received widespread critical acclaim, playing 148 performances in over 50 cities.
In his film career, Castro has had the privilege of returning to his mother's homeland, El Salvador, to play the role of Fern in RELENTLESS, a project that holds a special place in his heart. He worked closely with director Lance Tracey and the talented Lauren Shaw on this unforgettable experience.
Castro's passion for the arts can be attributed to his aunt, Jane Glodek, a painter, and his cousin, Roxana, also a painter. In recent years, he has primarily focused on independent film projects, but he eagerly anticipates his return to the theatre and the thrill of performing in front of a live audience once again.
