David Ackroyd
Veteran stage and TV actor David Ackroyd was born on May 30, 1940 in Orange, New Jersey, the son of Arthur, an insurance adjuster, and Charlotte (nee Henderson) Ackroyd. He studied at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania where he received his BA in 1962 as a ROTC student. Following his graduation he appeared in community theater productions while serving in Arizona with the military. He then focused on the arts as a career after enrolling at the Yale Drama School where he earned his Masters of Fine Arts in 1968. Ackroyd garnered early credits at Yale Repertory Theatre (for three seasons) and Williamstown Theatre Festival (for six seasons). He also found challenging and varied stage work outside the U.S., in Taiwan, Russia, Poland, Germany, France, and the former Czechoslovakia. Dark and handsome, he extended his stage career onscreen in the early 1970s, beginning with the daytime soap operas The Secret Storm (1954) and Another World (1964). He progressed to prime-time work as Gary Ewing in Dallas (1978) until Ted Shackelford successfully took over the role when the character moved front and center with the spin-off drama Knots Landing (1979). A durable guest star for decades on such popular TV series as Lou Grant (1977), Trapper John, M.D. (1979), St. Elsewhere (1982), Lacey & Cagney (1981), MacGyver (1985), Highway to Heaven (1984), Doogie Howser, M.D. (1989), Murder, She Wrote (1984), Walker, Texas Ranger (1993), and Xena: Warrior Princess (1995), Ackroyd had recurring roles as Dr. Boyer in After MASH (1983) and Dr. Bart Langley in A Peaceable Kingdom (1989). He provided strong support in the two-part TV special The Dark Secret of Harvest Home (1978) (starring Bette Davis) as well as such made-for-television movies as And I Alone Survived (1978), Women in White (1979), Deadly Lessons (1983), When Your Lover Leaves (1983), The Children of Times Square (1986), Hell Hath No Fury (1991), The Fear Inside (1992), and Against the Wall (1994) and four exceptional mini-series (The Word (1978), Nutcracker: Money, Madness & Murder (1987), Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story (1987), and Windmills of the Gods (1988)). Ackroyd also appeared in feature films, including The Mountain Men (1980), The Sound of Murder (1984), Wrestling with God (1990), I Come in Peace (1990), Love, Cheat & Steal (1993), Dead On (1994), Raven (1996), and No Strings Attached (1997). Prone to playing intelligent, upscale types or white-collar professionals (senators, doctors, lawyers, etc.), David continued to prevail on the stage with potent performances in 'Unlikely Heroes' (his 1971 Broadway debut), 'The Rivals', 'Juno and the Paycock', 'Hamlet' (as Rosencrantz), 'Private Lives', 'Children of a Lesser God' (replacing original star John Rubinstein), 'A Soldier's Play', 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?', 'Six Characters in Search of an Author', and an 2003 off-Broadway appearance in 'It Just Catches'. A well-seasoned narrator in documentary stories for the History Channel, he has sometimes utilized his well-modulated vocals for such animated cartoons as 'Johnny Quest' and 'Captain Planet and the Planeteers'. Much of his most recent professional work has been voice work. Long married to wife Ruth Liming, a college admissions officer, the couple has two daughters, Jessica and Abigail. He is a professor of drama at Flathead Valley Community College (Kalispell, Montana) and a founding member of the Alpine Theatre Project which produces plays for the Whitefish Theatre Company.

David Acuff
After graduating 139th(?) in his class at North Carolina State University, S. David Acuff took the freelance world by storm with such amazing videos as "What is the Baptist State Convention?" and the equally compelling "Art of Pysanki: Ukrainian Easter Eggs." Afterward, having had quite enough of the "real world" he sought refuge once more in the hallowed halls of academia in 1999 - 2001 to complete a Master's degree in Cinema-Television. At Regent University he worked for a year as the Production Coordinator for all of Regent's student film productions. He did such a (sub)exemplary job that he was selected by faculty to direct their $25,000 half-hour summer film called "Byline." Cannes... Sundance... the Student Academy Awards... these were just a few of the many festivals that "Byline" was NOT shown at. However, the film has won over 10 other awards including a CINE Golden Eagle in January 2003 and a Gold Star from Mom. Its success prompted many a proud faculty member to proclaim "we won't ever make that mistake again" as well as "would someone please graduate him and get him outta here?" Acuff returned to Raleigh, landing a full time gig as an Associate Producer at Trailblazer Studios where he toiled for "the man" for 3 years 7 months 6 hours and 12 minutes. Yes, he couldn't fend off success with a stick and was well on his way to being crowned "King of Corporate Videos" - a prestigious title viewed in some circles as only slightly less skeevy than Wedding Videographer or Film Blogger. In October 2006, he left Trailblazer to "follow his bliss" - which to the casual observer (e.g., his soon to be ex-wife) appeared to be sitting at a computer staring out a window all day long. However in his defense, he has cranked out 3 feature length spec scripts as well as launched his own film & video production company, Davidian Films. Along the way, S. David Acuff discovered his love for acting. In 2010, he landed a role acting as a Producer-Editor for Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in Charlotte, NC where he's 76.5% positive he'll be taking over for the world-renowned evangelist soon. It's either him or Billy's own son, Franklin. And not to brag, but Franklin hasn't co-starred with Robin Williams in "Patch Adams," "solved" the Rubic's Cube, nor is he a Lip Trumpeter of Awesomeness. At the ripe old age of "I'd say you look mid 30-something-ish" Acuff closed up his cultic-sounding Davidian Films shingle, boarded up his Wired4Film film blog, swore off Wedding videos, resigned his Christian Cubicle job and headed out West. On purpose. And didn't stop 'til he hit ocean. There, he lived happily ever after in Hollywood, making blockbuster after blockbuster and hit tv show after hit tv show. Did I say "making" - dang autocorrect, should have read "binge watching." Anywho, he landed an editing gig at Walt Disney Television and staved off starvation long enough to finish a Sci-Fi novel, a YA Drama, a Feature Film distributed by Sony Home Television, a couple of Movie Trailers, a Goldberg's Spec Script and other stuff. He was also reunited with his long lost Pal, Scruffy the dog, and together they launched a YouTube empire the likes of which no one had ever seen before. And they still haven't seen. Seriously, it's got like very few views, so if you've got a sec, head over and watch a few dozen videos, I mean THROW ME A FRIKKIN BONE HERE PEOPLE!! I'VE BEEN IN L.A. FOR YEARs NOW, WHY HASN'T SPIELBERG CALLED ME YET?! Annnnnnnnd scene.
