David Zahedian was born and raised in Alabama. Two years after his parents divorced in 1995, David decided to move to San Jose, California, in hopes to complete his high school education, and move on to De Anza College while learning about the family business from his father. After a year, David decided to take another path with business and, instead of working with the family business, he joined a reputable marketing firm that negotiated sales and advertisements for independent commercial company's across the country. He relocated twice, due to promotions: Once to San Leandro, California, and then again to Anaheim, California. There he completed his G.E.D at the University of Fullerton. He did this while having custody of his little brother and sister since the age of 18. Unsuccessful in the marketing business due to the company going bankrupt, David had no choice but to relocated back with his father and restart where he left off with the family business. At the age of 22, David shared the responsibilities of his siblings with his father, which allowed him to pursue acting with the help of his dear friend Nancy Berwid of First Take Acting school, after several years of hard work, Nancy Berwid has accepted David as one of her clients of NB Management. A couple of years later, David appeared on several very respected, low-budget Feature Films and Shorts, which all had some notoriety in festivals and in the media, e.g., Dead Line (2006) (V), in which he played a leading role as Glen, and Unflinching Triumph: The Philip Rockhammer Story (2007) where he played his first small supporting role. Shortly afterward, he appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006), as one of the Turkish guards. David was residing in the San Francisco Bay area and, surprisingly, he was getting auditions in the Los Angeles area, yet unsuccessful in securing any work from the auditions he went on, due to the stress of traveling between SF or LA. So he took a break from acting classes, sold his shares of the family business, settled his siblings back home where his mother still lives in Alabama. He put his college studies on hold in order to relocated to Hollywood. There, he continued to pursue his college studies for real estate development and investing, as well as continuing with his regular classes for film acting, yet he now lives close enough to have a more practical living expense with transportation to and from auditions. David has been working closely with his management company in taking the appropriate steps to look for a reputable talent agency in Hollywood. David passed his real estate exam. With his new job, David has secured a home for himself and his family. He now resides in the San Fernando Valley area. David just finished a small supporting role on a new feature film called, Chain Letter (2010), produced by Mark Burg of Twisted Pictures who also produced the "Saw" series.
