DAVID WITTS
Tutor
David first came to public attention as Joey Branning in BBC’s Eastenders – a role that won him both a National Television Award and a TV Choice Award for Best Newcomer. Since then, David has enjoyed a varied career between the UK and US – with roles in The Beekeeper (with Jason Statham), Recovery Road (ABC), I Ship It (The CW), Flowers In The Attic: The Origins (Lifetime) and in the award-winning Manhunt: The Night Stalker (ITV) opposite Martin Clunes.
On stage, he has played Fiyero in Wicked (West End) and Link Larkin in Hairspray (Leicester Curve).
Up next, David can be seen in Levon's Trade (in cinemas 2025) with Jason Statham and ITV's Unforgotten (released later this year).
David is excited to share his passion for storytelling with The Young Company MCR students. He likes to demystify the process, believing it doesn’t need to be complicated. First and foremost, David’s classes are a fun, safe space for young actors to sharpen their tools and work on the things that are holding them back.
