Following a 30-year hiatus for a career in Film and Video production, David Boyll made his return to scripted theatre in 2017, “delivering a full load of crazy” in his breakout role as Bernard B. O’Hare in the World Premiere of Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Night at Custom Made Theatre Company. In Partition at Indra’s Net Theater, David’s portrayal of Professor Alfred Billington was called “entertainingly stodgy,” and of his performance in Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple at Ross Valley Players, one critic wrote, “Boyll's Felix delights, with his nasal honking and victim-posing, bringing enjoyable life to a potentially difficult character.”
David is a recipient of the Bay Area Theatre Critics’ Circle Award 2020 for Featured Actor in a Play in a house with fewer than 100 seats, for his performance in Custom Made Theatre Company’s production of Bess Wohl’s American Hero, Directed by Allie Moss.
Between 2013 and 2020, David improvised over one hundred plays and musicals with Un-Scripted Theater Company®. As a founding member of Improv Lab, he performed at festivals in San Francisco, San Diego, Austin, Santa Monica, and at SF Sketchfest.
He has voiced national commercials, portrayed characters in hit video games, narrated audiobooks, and has interacted with hundreds of millions of customers via automated voice response.
Born in New York City, David grew up in a performing family, his parents both classical vocalists. They moved to San Francisco when David was five and he’s lived here ever since. Thank you for supporting the arts.
