Born in the small town of Wallsend in Northeast England, Dave trained at Rose Bruford College just outside of London before kicking off his acting career on both stage and screen. His first television appearance came in 1992 in an episode of the series Spender and he’d go on to racking up over a dozen more TV credits before making his big screen debut in the 2011 crime drama Sket. He’s most known in the theatre world for his role in the Globe’s 2012 production of Much Ado About Nothing and for being in the original cast of the stage adaptation of Warhorse. But on screen, he’s most recognized for playing Mike Stamford on the Sherlock series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. After more than three decades of being in the biz, David finally made his nude debut in the 2024 film Sebastian. Dave gets serviced by a writer/sex worker, stripping down to get banged in bed from behind and in missionary. Could this be just the beginning of David Nellist becoming a David Nudist?
