David James Henry is an American actor and writer. He was born in Fresno, California and was raised in Reedley, a small farming community west-southwest of Fresno.

David began writing when he was 14 years old, and started acting when he was 17. However, he initially attended college to become a high school history teacher. Out of coincidence, he took a screenwriting class while attending community college, and from there, moved to Los Angeles to attend Columbia College Hollywood in 2018. Since then, he has been a part of several short form productions, television shows as well as assisting on development teams.
