David Corenswet

David Packard Corenswet or simply known as David Corenswet is an esteemed American actor hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He landed on the world stage on July 8, 1993, into a family linked to the arts- his father, John Corenswet, was a stage actor turned lawyer and his maternal grandfather, the renowned author Edward Packard, created the coveted Choose Your Own Adventure book series. David's foray into the acting world began early, featuring in professional theater productions such as the Arden Theatre's 'All My Sons', Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival's 'Macbeth', among others as a child actor. His love for performing and storytelling led him to Juilliard, where he secured a Bachelor of Fine Arts in drama in 2016, kickstarting his career in the television industry.

Over time, David's talent shone brightly, drawing him eclectic roles across various platforms. His first major role after Juilliard saw him in 'Affairs of State' (2018), a political thriller, as Michael Lawson. He also showcased his acting prowess in television series like 'House of Cards', 'Elementary', and 'Instinct'. His rising profile secured him significant roles in Netflix series 'The Politician' (2019–2020) and 'Hollywood' (2020), both under the creative wings of Ryan Murphy. Movies like 'Look Both Ways', 'Pearl', and HBO miniseries 'We Own This City' (all 2022) added to his expanding portfolio. Moving forward, David landed supporting roles in movies like 'Twisters' and the miniseries 'Lady in the Lake' (2024), while also securing the leading role in the much-awaited DC Universe film 'Superman' (2025).
