Biography

David Millbern, a multi-talented Emmy Award-winning actor-producer and four-time nominee, first made a name for himself as a child actor in iconic commercials such as McDonald's "Glasses to Go" and "Sundae Smile" campaigns, among many others.

By the age of 17, David had already studied and worked with the renowned Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in New York City. After graduating from Northwestern University, he landed a contract role as "Lance Hirt" on ABC's General Hospital, which brought him to Los Angeles.

David's first film was a lead role in Roger Corman's cult classic "The Slumber Party Massacre," followed by a lead role in "Sorceress" also for Corman. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences honored him a few years ago, and Corman mentioned his fondness for David's work in both films.

Throughout his career, David has appeared in a wide range of feature films, including "Gods And Monsters," "In Her Line Of Fire," "Texas Rangers," and "Bokshu, the Myth," shot in India. His feature film screenwriting debut was marked by "Big Rage."

In addition to his work in film, David has also had notable roles in made-for-television movies, including "Past Obsessions," "An Accidental Christmas," "Fatal Reunion," "Christmas Do-Over," "I'll Remember April," "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," "Ice Spiders," and "Chupacabra: Dark Seas." He has also starred in "Amanda and the Alien" for Showtime, "Error in Judgment" and "Sanctimony" for HBO, and created the voice of "Lt. Louie Nichols" in the award-winning animated series "Robotech."

David's producing credits include the feature film "The Nurse," the comedic parody "Hush Up Sweet Charlotte," the sitcom "From here! on OUT," and the feature documentary "A Long Road to Freedom: The Advocate Celebrates 50 Years," narrated by Laverne Cox. He received his second Emmy nomination for the latter.

David has also directed the documentary "100 Years Years of Men in Love: The Accidental Collection," which received a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. He created and hosted the game show "Modd Couples" on Hulu, wrote and directed the series "Falling for Angels" and "Now What?!," both for Here TV, and produces "Not So Straight in Silver Lake," "Guys like Us," and "Girls' Voices Now," for which he won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Form Children's Programming.

Throughout his career, David has received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Sabre Award and the first-ever OTTX Impact Award for his social justice work.
