David Foubert is a versatile union actor (Equity and SAG-AFTRA) with the unique ability to leap between leading classical roles (Henry VIII in Henry VIII at Shakespeare Theater of New Jersey) to character roles (World of Chaldea) and comedic writing and acting (Who Doth Inhabit the Primary Position, Bottom in Midwinter Night’s Dream at STNJ.) David is a graduate of the University of Delaware’s groundbreaking PTTP Master of Fine Arts program.
In 2025, you may have seen David in his viral video “Who Doth Inhabit The Primary Position,” which has received over 11K likes on Instagram following its much anticipated return to the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey stage – or as a featured background actor in Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix, where he had the opportunity to join the ranks of golden jacket golf champions in movie canon.
After a few years on the West Coast to support his family, David returned to the East Coast in late 2024 and is available indefinitely for work as a local in the New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia regional markets. When he is not onstage or on set, David is most likely working at the storied Bucks County Playhouse supporting their historic operations as a carpenter or run crew.
Now that he has resettled on the East Coast, David is actively seeking new representation and welcomes inquires. Contact David directly at david@davidfoubert.com to inquire about availability for 2026-2027 and beyond.
