David Eigenberg

Name: David Eigenberg
Date of Birth: May 17, 1964
Place of Birth: Manhasset, New York, USA

Mini-bio: David was born on Long Island, New York and moved to Illinois when he was 4. Every summer from 12 on was a working summer, saving for college that only lasted 5 weeks, before he was kicked out. Acti...( read more)ng was somewhat of a natural progression. Working for the first time at the age of 12 in a community theater project, he landed a part in a production of Kurt Vonnegut's's "Happy Birthday Wanda June" directed by Dale Bowers. Receiving his first and only good review, the local critic was very taken by David's presence. A few more little local plays and musicals followed but time and adolescence took him to different places. He took several different jobs, driving auto parts, doing road construction and finally enlisting into the USMC Reserves. The intense mandate laid before all recruits, that they must learn to toe the line and suck it up and learn respect for others and then themselves, had a deep impact on him and followed him in all aspects of life.

Dennis Rosa put him in the chorus of a Chicago hit musical, "One Shining Moment" After the show's run David had misgivings about his new profession and didn't quite feel accredited to be in, having stumbled into the audition while the Chicago school district was on strike and he had no class. He applied and was accepted to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. That decision took him to New York City.

It was many years before any thing of note came his way. Reading "Six Degrees of Separation" was the first time he discovered, like others, that John Guare had written a great play. He read for several parts first but it was the part of the nameless "hustler" that he knew he had to play and so "serve" this story.

Years went by, little jobs in the theater followed but most of the years were spent in East Harlem on 109th and 1st. He paid the bills with carpentry jobs and work on paint crews and then stumbled into a friendship with Al Noccella, his partner in construction and beneficiary who kept him employed and ushered him out when it looked like the "break" had come.

The character Steve on "Sex and the City" came after many auditions for many parts on the show and lasted for almost 5 years. On a USO gala event he met Chrysti, an Army specialist, working the gate at Fort Monroe, Virginia who came to mean the world to him.
