This week I chatted to David Soncin. We chatted about all things acting, getting into Bell Shakespeare and touring with Shakespeare, mindset and some fun rapid fire questions! So, grab a coffee and enjoy! :)
BIO:
David is an Australian actor based in Sydney. Growing up in Far North Queensland, he graduated at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Acting in 2013. David immediately broke into the Sydney theatre scene with Bell Shakespeare’s Players, including a production of Macbeth at the Sydney Opera House.
His Italian background has allowed him to explore a number of versatile ethnic roles in productions like The House of Ramon Iglesia, The Judas Kiss, The Shifting Heart, and The House at Boundary Road Liverpool. His most notable performance was Marco in Red Line Productions’ and Ensemble Theatre’s A View From The Bridge; winner of four Sydney Theatre Awards including Best Independent Production, and five Glugs Awards in 2017 including “Most Outstanding Independent Production”; David also received a Glugs nomination for “Most Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role.”
Shakespeare has been a big influence on David’s career, recently performing in Sport for Jove’s Twelfth Night, and Romeo & Juliet (dir. Damien Ryan) as Tybalt, a PTSD soldier in post-WWII Italy. This year will be his first credit with Queensland Theatre playing Hortensio in The Taming of the Shrew.
David’s film and television credits include Love Child (Season 4), On The Move, and River (Toronto Film Festival Official Selection)
