- Once upon a time in the sunny streets of Glendale, CA, there lived a man who could make both Hollywood, and Broadway, envious of his life script - David "Mosky" Moskowitz. Born on a Christmas morning in Brooklyn, NY, this charismatic Glendale resident has worn more hats than a magician at a hat store.
From gracing the screen as Santa Claus in "Guardians of The Galaxy: Holiday Special," to being the muse for Chris Rock's BFF character on "Everybody Hates Chris," David's life is a real blockbuster.
A USC film school graduate, radio show extraordinaire, and a Santa who moonwalks - he's the walking definition of a Renaissance man.
When he's not charming audiences on screen or teaching acting, you might catch him on a quest to find the perfect slice of pizza and burger in Los Angeles.
A man of many talents, David is also a guitar virtuoso, leg presses over 1,300 lbs, and can do the moonwalk - a skill he mastered in just a year.
With a pet peeve for drunks, and a love for Star Wars and Star Trek, David's life is as eclectic and entertaining as the roles he's played.
In Glendale, where every day is a new scene, David Moskowitz is the star of his own show, bringing a touch of Brooklyn charm and Hollywood flair to his Californian journey. Stay tuned for more Mosky magic!- IMDb Mini Biography By: Glendale Buzz
