Personal Details

Biography

David Light, a renowned American actor, made the Philippines his home in the 1970s. The 1980s proved to be a pivotal decade for him, as he secured numerous significant and minor roles in Filipino productions, as well as participating in foreign films that were locally shot.

As the years went by, his acting career continued to flourish, with a steady stream of projects keeping him busy. However, the local film industry began to slow down, and by 1991, his acting career had come to an end.

Tragedy struck in 2020, when David Light's life was cut short in a shocking and senseless act of violence. He was 75 years old at the time of his death, which occurred in his home in Olongapo. Two young men were responsible for his stabbing, a senseless act that left his loved ones and fans reeling in shock and grief.
