DAVID DEAN BOTTRELL is a multi-hyphenate. David is familiar to television audiences from his breakout role in David E. Kelley’s Boston Legal, playing the wonderfully psychotic “Lincoln Meyer”. He has enjoyed roles on many popular shows including Head of the Class, Caroline in the City, Dharma and Greg, JAG and most recently Harry’s Law, Castle, Criminal Minds, iCarly and a recurring role on Days of Our Lives.

Theater audiences have seen David on stage at Second Stage, the Public Theater, the Manhattan Punch Line and LaMama, as well as many prestigious regional theaters like New Haven’s Long Wharf Theater and the Actors Theater of Louisville (Humana Festival). Most recently, he was an original cast member of both the Los Angeles and New York companies of “Streep Tease”, and previously appeared on the Colony’s stage in 2009 in Wayne Liebman’s “Better Angels”.

In addition to his acting career, David has realized much success as a writer of many screenplays for studios such as MTV Films, Paramount Pictures and Disney Feature Animation, as well as the co-writer of Fox Searchlight’s 2001 mega-hit film Kingdom Come, starring LL Cool J, Jada Pinkett Smith, Loretta Devin and many other notable actors. His comedic POV column appears each month in Metrosource Magazine and he’s a regular contributor for the Huffington Post, where he blogs about his experiences in the entertainment industry, as well as his own popular industry Web site – PartsAndLabor – a must read for all middle class Hollywood.

As a director, he is currently directing a stage adaptation of Graham Greene’s much-loved novel “Travels with My Aunt” at the Colony Theater in Burbank, and directed (as well as wrote) the award-winning short comedy film, Available Men which screened at more than 130 film festivals.
