Career
Gregory was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska as the middle of three sons. He danced at North Star Ballet and did plays with Fairbanks Drama Association and Fairbanks Light Opera Theatre. In the summer of 2003, prior to his senior year of high school, Gregory attended Interlochen Arts Camp and took home one of the institution’s top honors, The Maddy Award for Excellence in Musical Theater for his role as the Fairy Godmother in Sweet Charity. He made his professional debut in 2005 at Porthouse Theatre, as Riff in West Side Story. In 2008, he graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Music Theatre from Baldwin-Wallace College (now Baldwin Wallace University) in Berea, Ohio.[1] The same year, he earned his Equity card while appearing in The Full Monty for the now-defunct American Musical Theatre of San Jose. He also landed his first television role: a national campaign for Airborne as “beloved romance novel hero Sebastian”.
David began a two-week stint on ABC’s One Life to Live in the summer of 2009. He was offered a contract that fall and stayed with the show until it’s cancellation. He appeared briefly in James L. Brooks’ How Do You Know in 2010, with most of his scenes ending up on the cutting room floor.
Since One Life to Live ended in 2012, Gregory has starred on multiple television series, including a season-long arc on the short-lived NBC series "Deception". In 2014, he appeared in Hartford Stage’s Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, earning a Connecticut Critics Circle Award nomination and gracing the cover of American Theatre Magazine in the role the next year.
Also a talented writer, David’s audio Western “Powder Burns” took home the Voice Arts Award for Outstanding Storytelling/Best Performance for an episode dealing with Alzheimer’s disease (the show has been nominated six times). John Wesley Shipp (CW’s “The Flash”) and Ed Asner (“Elf”, “Lou Grant”) star opposite Gregory in the episode. Western Writers of America hails the production as “Darn Good Entertainment. The Future of Westerns.”
Gregory’s play Hank & Jim Build a Plane was workshopped at The Last Frontier Theatre Conference in Valdez, Alaska. The comedy follows cinematic legends (and best friends) Henry Fonda and James Stewart as they reminisce about everything from their days as struggling actors in New York to their detrimental feud over politics and The Hollywood Blacklist. Gregory signed an option agreement with SunnySpot Productions in May 2019 and workshopped at Le Petit Théâtre Du Vieux Carré in New Orleans.
David lives and works in New York City, with his wife, Broadway performer Jennifer Noble (Ghost: The Musical, King Kong). They’ve been together since college. [2][3][4]
