Secret Smile
David's portrayal as the psychotic boyfriend from hell, Brendan Block, in the TV adaptation of the Nicci French novel
Secret Smile sent shivers down the spines of his fans when it was broadcast on ITV1 in December 2005. His evil stalking of

Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire
David hit the big screen in November 2005 as Barty Crouch Jr in Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire. Trying to kill Harry
Potter probably isn't the best way to make friends and influence people, but it certainly didn't seem to do David
any harm...

on it's flagship channel BBC One. This resulted in David winning critical acclaim for his role and legions of new fans!
He Knew He Was Right
He Knew He Was Right was also a huge success, but his character had the opposite effect when he played the slimy Reverend
Gibson. The drama also starred Bill Nighy.
Blackpool
November 2004 is probably the time when most people's attention was first drawn to David.
As DI Carlisle in Blackpool, he tried to frame Ripley Holden (David Morrissey) for murder so he could steal his wife,
Natalie (Sarah Parish).
The musical drama was so successful for the BBC that it has since been shown in the USA and Australia! And it has
recieved numerous nominations at prestigious awards ceremonies such as The BAFTAs, The Golden Globes and The Broadcast
Awards.
