David Alan Basche is an American actor. He was born August 25, 1968 in Hartford, Connecticut.

Basche's first acting role was in a school production of Tom Sawyer when he was in the sixth grade at West Hartford's Norfeldt Elementary School. Basche, who describes his demeanor then as an "angry, smart-ass kid," tried out for and landed the lead role after a school counselor suggested he take up acting to channel some of his anger and emotion.[1]

Basche appeared in several plays presented by the Greater Hartford Jewish Community Center while he was a student at King Philip Middle School, and he had roles in 10 school plays during his four years at William H. Hall High School in West Hartford.[2]

Basche is married to the actress Alysia Reiner. They met during a summer stock production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.[3]

He appeared in the 2005 motion picture War of the Worlds in the role of Tim, the step-father of Dakota Fanning's character. In 2006 he played Todd Beamer in United 93.

His first major exposure was starring in Oh Grow Up, a short-lived sitcom created by Alan Ball. He later played Steven Keats in the NBC sitcom Three Sisters.
