EMMY Award-winning actor-producer and 4x nominee David Millbern first emerged as a child actor in such iconic commercials as McDonald's "Glasses to Go" and was the smile behind their "Sundae Smile" campaign, among many others.

By 17, David had already studied and worked with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in NYC. After graduating from Northwestern University, a contract role playing 'Lance Hirt' on ABC's General Hospital brought him to L.A. David's first film was a lead in Roger Corman's "The Slumber Party Massacre", which became a cult favorite. Next was a lead in "Sorceress" also for Corman and when honored by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences a few years ago, Corman mentioned his fondness for David's work in both films. More feature film roles followed including Sir Ian McKellen's doctor in the Oscar winning "Gods And Monsters", Mariel Hemingway's captor in "In Her Line Of Fire", and Alfred Molina's match in "Texas Rangers". David also starred along with the late Irrfan Khan in "Bokshu, the Myth" shot in India. His film, "Big Rage" marks his feature screenwriting debut.

MOWs include leads in Past Obsessions, An Accidental Christmas, Fatal Reunion for Lifetime; Christmas Do-Over, I'll Remember April, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus for Freeform; and Ice Spiders, Chupacabra: Dark Seas for SYFY. David starred in Amanda and the Alien for Showtime, and Error in Judgment and Sanctimony, both for HBO. David created the voice of 'Lt. Louie Nichols' in the award-winning animated series Robotech.

After receiving his first EMMY nomination for producing The Ribbon of Hope Celebration along with the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, David dove head first into his love of storytelling by becoming an actor-producer hyphenate. David produced the female thriller feature, "The Nurse" and the comedic parody, "Hush Up Sweet Charlotte". He also produced the sit-com, From here! on OUT, and received his second EMMY nomination for the feature documentary, "A Long Road to Freedom: The Advocate Celebrates 50 Years", narrated by Laverne Cox. Another documentary,"100 Years Years of Men in Love: The Accidental Collection", which he directed, has received a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. David created and was the host of the game show Modd Couples on Hulu and wrote and directed the series Falling for Angels and Now What?!, both for Here TV. He 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 Programing. David has also received the prestigious Sabre Award and is the first recipient of the OTTX Impact Award for his social justice work.
