David Hoflin

Born 25th February 1979 Stoholm, Sweeden

David's family came to Australia when he was four years old.

When David was 9 he got his first acting job playing Meryl Streep's son in Evil Angels [aka A Cry in the Dark].

'David is a fitness freak who is an excellent tennis player and also dabbles in golf, basketball, table tennis, indoor soccer, skiing and scuba diving. His trusty guitar goes everywhere with him - especially on trips up the Queensland coast on the occasional surfing safari.'

'His "hero" is Eric Clapton. Ultimately he would like to work on feature films with Directors such as Martin Scorcese, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino and Australian Director, Fred Schepisi. He'd love to work with actors such as Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins and Leonardo De Caprio and actresses Meryl Streep (again), Lauren Holly and Cathy Baker.His favourite actor is John Cusack.'

David on acting since an early age:
"my mother remembers a time when I acted like a dog for several days, if she spoke to me I'd bark in response!"

David on wanting to study:
"Acting isn't stable enough unless you have an ongoing job, I'd like to have a degree to fall back on".

David on studying:
"After my first year at university, my family had to move quite far away, which made it difficult for me to continue where I was. When I found that the uni closer to us couldn’t offer the subjects I was doing, I decided to defer my studies for a year and give acting first priority… That year has now become two and it doesn’t seem likely that I will be able to continue studying for a while yet. But I am doing what I really love, so I cannot complain."

David on Head Start:
"I am really enthusiastic about Head Start! It has interesting characters and storylines and I think it will become favourite viewing for a lot of people. The cast is great, we get on really well which is always a plus. I wouldn’t say I share my character’s, (Patrick) view on everything; he is quite conservative and a bit of a “redneck”, but I think he is honest and has got some substance and I hope the viewers will get to like this rough diamond."

David on Ocean Girl:
"It's the best thing I've ever done. The atmosphere on set is great as are the storylines. I feel very proud to have worked on the production as it hasn't broken away from the environmental theme which is so important. The significance of friendship is another strong theme and there are no racial prejudices - people from ORCA are from all walks of life - even alien!"

David on fan mail:
"I get a lot of mail from Japan which is fun. They are so polite - they call me Mr. David! It's heartwarming that they take the time to write to me, many say it's the first letter they've ever written in English!"
