David Haydn-Jones' life story is a testament to his humble beginnings in Kyle, Saskatchewan, a small town that shaped his old-fashioned values and work ethic. Born and raised in a household that blended British, American, and Canadian cultures, David's family fostered a love for the arts and international travel. When his family relocated to Calgary, David, then 15, began his entertainment career as a singer and dancer, showcasing his natural talent and diverse upbringing.
David's academic pursuits took him to McGill University, where he earned a degree in architecture while also taking courses in literature and theater. His passion for sketch comedy led him to perform at local clubs, and he even acted in plays by Shakespeare, Moliere, and Gilbert and Sullivan. However, an economic recession forced him to reevaluate his career plans, and he turned to comedy with a friend, eventually performing at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.
David's big break came when he was "discovered" at the festival, leading to an invitation from Hollywood. He soon found himself appearing on American TV shows such as 'Melrose Place' and 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', before making Los Angeles his permanent residence. His career has since flourished, with leading roles in Hallmark films and a recent stint on the CW's 'Supernatural' as the suave and sociopathic Mr. Ketch.
Throughout his journey, David has remained true to his small-town roots, upholding the values he learned in Kyle. He has earned comparisons to the legendary Cary Grant, known for his charming on-screen presence, and has demonstrated his range by playing both everyday men and leading men opposite talented co-stars. David's dedication to his craft, his passion for his work, and his commitment to charitable causes have solidified his place as a talented and versatile actor.
