David Sullivan was born in Longview, an east Texas town of 70,000 people. An imaginative and social child early on in life, his curiosity eventually led him to the stage where he performed in one-act plays at Spring Hill High and proved to be a natural in front of live audiences. Upon high school graduation, Sullivan was offered a theater scholarship at Kilgore Junior College but instead, he accepted an academic scholarship to Baylor University to study business. Sullivan still took great measures to further his interest in the dramatic arts. His talent for acting landed him roles in stage productions by the Baylor theater department. Though never a formal student of acting, much of Sullivan’s postgraduate years have been dedicated to small budget films working closely with friends on both sides of the camera. PRIMER was Sullivan’s first official casting call, and his first leading role in a feature film.
