David Reardon

David Reardon,

Tall, blond, athletic with blue eyes is his early 30s David Reardon comes from a big Southern family. In “Consequences” he tells Elizabeth he was always fighting with his Brothers when he was growing up.

In his 20s he was estranged from his Father, Tom Reardon and they didn’t see each other for 6 years. In this time David got married and divorced. David father had wanted his son to go into business with him but that would have meant giving up his acting career and this drove a wedge between father and son. Tom tried reaching out but David ignored his calls until fellow teacher Gregory Crandall died in “A Tough Act To Follow”, then he finally agreed to meet and talk with his father.

He lives alone in an apartment in New York City. He’s an actor but struggling to make ends meet so turns to teaching acting at the High School for the Arts. He has a good sense of humour and is passionate about his work, doing his best to help the kids. Frequently the kids go to him for advice.

He is seen first in the episode “And The Winner Is?” although he had recently started working at the school before we see him. In his first episode while fighting for Bruno to be in charge of the production of his own play, David revealed that he likes to shake things up a little from time to time.

He enjoys most sports and plays handball in the school basement to stay in shape, as seen in “Beginnings”. In “Love Is The Question” we learn he was on his college water polo team and we see him help Leroy and Danny coach a Basketball team in “Ending On A High Note”.

He has a passion for TV Trivia as seen in “Star Quality” and writes poetry as seen in “Friendship Day”.

David’s last episode is “Indian Summer” where we discover Holy has a crush on him. We don’t see or hear anything about the character again after that.
