American actor known for his deep voice.
Frequently typecast as a Scary Black Man. Fortunately, he found his renaissance as a Voice Actor, from which he ganered a veritable army of devoted fans. He'll always be Goliath to us.
He is not David Keith. What he is, is an awesome singer.
Also, don't mess with his fries.

- Armageddon - The Air Force general who suggests blasting the asteroid with 50 nukes.
- The Big House - Clarence Cleveland
- The Cape - Max Malini

- City Confidential, the narration of which he took over after Paul Winfield's death.
- Comic Book Superheroes: Unmasked (a documentary for the History Channel)
- Empires: Egypt's Golden Empire
- Ken Burns' Jazz (a documentary series)
- New York: A Documentary Film (the first three episodes; these were later recycled for the series The American Experience)
- United States Armed Forces commercials
- The War, possibly the definitive World War II documentary in recent years
- WWE documentaries and DVDs, for which David has occasionally narrated.
