Dave McCrea

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Dave McCrea first caught the acting bug after he saw Kiefer Sutherland in The Lost Boys and started doing school plays. After high school, he attended the Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin where he worked with the finest teachers of the Dublin theatre world. Upon graduation, he co-founded Ether 4 Lunch Theatre Company with classmate Stuart Townsend and performed as The Kid in Sam Shepard's The Unseen Hand in Ether 4 Lunch's first production. He also worked in established Dublin theatres such as The Gaiety with esteemed theatre director Joe Dowling (of The Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis), and the Project Arts Center. Securing a green card through the "lottery", he then moved to San Francisco where he worked closely with director David Gebroe, securing lead roles in If You Need Oil, a 38-minute black comedy that hit the festival circuit and The Homeboy, a comedy feature that went to PPV for 2 months as well as onto Netflix. He also got a supporting role in Jorda
