The powerful hand of divine providence is already guiding the career of gifted young actor, David Kenneth Sommerville. Raised by a single –parent father in East Port Terrace, a low-income area of Annapolis, David spent most of his early life without his mother, who battled substance abuse. Role models and teachers, who recognized the gifts of the good-looking kid from the neighborhood, kept him on the straight and narrow. Born confident, David walked into an audition in Silver Spring, Maryland for an MSNBC re-enactment series of the D.C. Sniper saga and secured a lead role. Later, David became the personal assistant to actor Michael Kenneth Williams (of “Omar from ‘The Wire'” fame), who serves as a mentor. Attracted to inspired works, David secured a lead role in the Historic Annapolis Foundation’s regional theater tour of award winning play, “Project Run-A-Way,” which led to the “Freedom Bound” exhibition at “Historic Annapolis Museum.” Not content to wait for his ship to come in but to swim out and meet it, David took on the role of producer and writer in 2014 with Disillusion. Later, He had his directorial debut in 2015 short film Indoctrination, which David created a Go Fund Me campaign and successfully raised over $5,000 that partially funded the film.
