David Strickland was born in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York, on October 14th, 1969. Raised in Princeton, New Jersey, he never thought about an acting career until moving to the LA suburb of Pacific Palisades while in high school. Instead of college, he joined a theater company and began performing comedy sketches he wrote along with a friend. To gain some acting experience, Strickland also participated in 64 student films. His stage credits include Biloxi Bluesues, Bye Birdie, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, Pizza Man and I Won't Dance. He went on to earn guest-starring roles on "Roseanne" (1988) and "Dave's World" (1993) as well as recurring roles on "Sister, Sister" (1994) and "Mad About You" (1992) (as Paul Reiser's backstabbing co-worker at the Explorer Channel). When not acting his pasttimes included golf, making fruit smoothies, and playing "a mean game of paddle-tennis". He will best be remembered by TV fans for his co-starring role of Todd, the magazine's music critic, on the NBC sitcom "Suddenly Susan" (1996) (which stars Brooke Shields). Recent movie achievements, before his young death, included a lead role in the independent film Delivered (1998) (a dark comedy directed by Guy Ferland) and the role of 'Steve' in the hit movie Forces of Nature (1999).
