About David

David J. Cantu is an actor, writer and producer originating from Winfield, KS. He didn’t have much interest in performing until joining his high school's theater program. It was around that same time that he began working with Tyler W. Moore on his early projects. The two have been long time collaborators ever since, leading to his introduction into Illumination Cinema in 2017.
While Cantu has taken on a diverse lineup of projects over time, his primary focus is on comedy, both with his acting and writing.
