David has taken on hot topics, historical and social issues in documentaries he has presented. The F word for Sky Arts saw David get to grips with what has often been viewed as a dirty word in his industry, ‘Failure’ and enlisted some of his friends – from Damien Lewis, Eddie Izzard, Zachary Quinto and Olivia Colman to share their experiences of being a struggling actor before and throughout their careers. This unapologetically honest and open documentary has proved to be an eye opener for new and established talent.

‘THE F WORD’

SKY ARTS

‘THE F WORD’ - SKY ARTS

“I went for a part in Rev once. I really needed the cash and I didn’t get it. I was gutted. I remember thinking, “What’s wrong with you?” But actually, if I had got that part, I wouldn’t have been free to take on Homeland, so it’s swings and roundabouts. — ‘The first rule is that you should take nothing for granted, ever. You’re on a rollercoaster, remember.”
