Bio

David Garrett was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. He grew up heavily involved in sports playing high school baseball as well as football. During high school he always had an interest in acting but was afraid to give it a try for fear of being made fun of by the football team. When sports were no longer an option for Garrett he and a couple of college friends decided to audition for a play in college. He was cast as an angry prisoner. Ever since being cast in his first play he has been acting since. Garrett studied acting intensely at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He credits his ability to his collegiate acting coach as well as his current coach. He believes acting is an outlet for people to go outside their own boundaries and should be about taking risks to get over fears. Garrett also does stand up comedy from time to time. He does not see stand up as a career choice but instead as a good time to make his friends and strangers laugh. He says he originally got into acting to do comedy saying Jim Carrey and Chris Farley were huge inspirations to him.
