A former off-Broadway actor & playwright, his critically-acclaimed one-man show, "David Dean Bottrell Makes Love: A One-Man Show" consistently plays to sold out audiences on both coasts. Bottrell co-wrote the stage play, "Dearly Departed" as well as the film adaptation entitled "Kingdom Come" starring Whoopi Goldberg, L.L. Cool J., Anthony Anderson and Jada Pinkett-Smith. He's been a columnist for Backstage, Huffington Post and Metrosource, and is also the author of the critically acclaimed how-to book, "Working Actor: Breaking In, Making a Living and Making a Life in the Fabulous Trenches of Show Business" published by Random House (Ten Speed Press) in February 2019.
