[edit] Career
His first starring role came in the film "Winter Follies", directed by Darren Lynn Bousman who also helmed Saw II, Saw III and Saw IV.
David was one of the eight selected for the Apprentice program at the Actor’s Theatre of Louisville and was also later granted a scholarship to the British Academy of Dramatic Arts but his career prevented him from accepting straight away.
Blue performed in the premiere workshop production of "Ain’t No Mountain High Enough" at the Mark Taper Forum. The musical was based on the works of Motown creator Berry Gordy and directed by Kenny Leon who had previously directed Sean Combs in the Broadway production of A Raisin in the Sun. The musical co-starred such TV/Film/Theatre talent as Cleavant Derricks and Ellis Williams.
On Ugly Betty, Blue stars as ‘Cliff’, a photographer at Mode magazine and love interest to Wilhelmina Slater’s faithful assistant, Marc St. James, played by Michael Urie. Before his breakthrough role on ‘Betty,’ David was busy making guest appearances elsewhere including; Veronica Mars, FX’s series Dirt and Disney’s hit comedy The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
Recently, Blue has been on CBS's Moonlight as Logan Griffen, a technology-obsessed vampire recluse who often assists Mick St. John, played by Alex O'Loughlin.
Blue recently appeared on the big screen in the feature film "The Comebacks", a comedy spoof on inspirational sports movies starring David Koechner, Matthew Lawrence and Bradley Cooper (opened October 19th.)
