David Westhead's journey in the world of drama began at Bristol University, where he studied the art form before furthering his education at RADA, graduating in 1987. Although he was offered understudy roles with the esteemed Royal Shakespeare Company, he opted to decline these opportunities, convinced that he had secured a position with Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre. Unfortunately, this fell through, and he joined the Actors' Touring Company, where he and two other actors played all the roles.
