David Alexander Kaplan was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia to parents Alan and Zhenia Kaplan. Following in the footsteps of his older brother, actor Michael Kendall Kaplan, David has enjoyed many successes in both film and television.

David is a series regular playing Rufus Weylin in the highly acclaimed FX TV series Kindred on Hulu. He also reoccurs as #012 in five episodes of the award winning Stranger Things Season 4 on Netflix and appears with Brian Cranston, Rainn Wilson, and Annette Bening in the feature film Jerry and Marge Go Large.

David has worked alongside Stephen Dorf in the feature film Embattled and is known for his supporting lead roles in Lifetime Movie, a Sister's Secret, and in two episodes of Creepshow on Shudder TV, where he was directed by Tom Savini and Greg Nicotero. David has also appeared in The Resident on FOX, McGyver on CBS and national TV commercials.

David is petite in size, but filled with wisdom and discipline which are well beyond his years. What David loves most about TV and Film is the creative process, collaborating with fellow actors and directors, and telling stories through the art of acting.
