David Burnell IV, the oldest of three children, was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on the little island of Oahu. He is the son of David Burnell III, a retired military veteran who was a combat medic during the Vietnam war and Charmaine Burnell retired Senior Accountant for Walmart Operations. David grew up as a military brat for most of his life living in several different locations in 3-year increments. Being exposed to several different cultures allowed David to easily talk in several different accents.He played football for the East Carolina University Pirates where he was nicknamed "The Flea" because of his height and quickness after graduation, a guy with a nice uniform told him that he could travel the entire world for free. David then enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, Philipines, Thailand, Hawaii, California, Seoul Korea, and Munich Germany throughout his career. Ultimately, David found that the Marines tend to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan a lot and being a cold-hearted killing machine was a full-time acting job for him. When a rocket hit 10 feet outside of the T-wall he realized that he might as well get paid better for his acting career.He got back to the states and started enrolling in American Ninja Warrior competitions, short films, commercials, then movies while acquiring good agents. David has only begun acting professionally since 2018, but with a couple of promising movies premiering in 2020, David Burnell IV is looking to be a force to be reckoned with. Show less «
