info_outlineDavid Hern was born in New York City on June 20, 1958. An actor virtually since birth, David first appeared onstage at age 5 as the ringmaster of a Kindergarten Circus. He studied theatre, rehearsed, and appeared in plays all through high school and college, followed by numerous community and professional stage productions in Northern California.
Fresh out of high school, he won a full scholarship to attend San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theatre’s training program where he was fortunate enough to study under Vincent Price and Peter Donat. In the early 1980s he moved to Hollywood where he appeared on the late-night spook show Freddy’s Nightmares, and continued his scene work under the tutelage of character actors Bruce Glover and Allen Garfield.
Relocating back to Northern California a decade later, he appeared in the films Bee Season, Twisted, and Paradise Club, as well as in stage productions at Center Repertory and Playhouse West. He was also cast as the host of Rider McDowell’s Nighty Night San Francisco, a send-up of late-night talk shows featured on Evening Magazine with former child star Johnny Whitaker.
As a writer, David’s play What Loving People Do was performed as a staged reading at Playhouse West in 2008. Another, In the Birdcage, at both the Nosotros Playhouse in Los Angeles (1987) and the San Francisco Playwrights Center (1992).
David’s late father, Bernie Hern was also an actor and stand-up comedian, appearing on the Robert Q. Lewis radio show in 1950. He is also known for his appearance in the classic Rob Reiner film, When Harry met Sally, as well as in his recurring TV role as Judge Sidney Schroeder on Steven Bochco’s L. A. Law in the 1980s.
David is now an author with the release of How Not to Make it in Hollywood—a twisted comic memoir of his decade there.
