David Krumholtz Biography

Being the avid television viewer that I am, not to mention, somewhat of a mathematical genius myself, (no kidding) I couldn’t help but tune in to watch the premiere of the hit CBS television show NUMB3RS when it premiered last season. 

Having said that, I am now a full-fledged fan of the show, which is currently in its third season, although I’m sure most viewers think it’s only the second season (like I did before researching it). 

At any rate, the show revolves around two brothers, Don (Rob Morrow) and Charlie (David Krumholtz) Eppes. Don is the older brother and FBI agent who gets amazing mathematical help solving crimes from his younger brother, a mathematics genius. 

The cast of the hit show also includes veteran actor, Judd Hirsch, who is the man who gave Krumholtz his start in acting way back in 1992 on the Broadway stage. Now, Krumholtz, an actor I have really come to like, and repeatedly have to hear how good-looking he is, is a genuine star in his own right who appears to have quite a future in front of him. Here is Krumholtz’s story. 

Born on May 15, 1978 in Queens, New York, Krumholtz began his acting career at the age of 13 when he followed his friends to an open audition for the Broadway play Conversations with my Father in 1992. He won the role of Young Charlie opposite the Tony-winner Hirsch and actors Tony Shalhoub and Jason Biggs, who was also making his Broadway debut at the time.
Shortly after his run on Broadway, Krumholtz co-starred in two feature films: Life With Mikey (1993) opposite Michael J. Fox and Addams Family Values (1993) opposite Christina Ricci. For his role in Mikey, David was nominated for a 1993 Young Artist Award. 

Although his work in these two films garnered him critical attention, Krumholtz is probably best known by children and the young-at-heart as the sarcastic head elf Bernard from The Santa Clause (1994) and its 2002 sequel The Santa Clause 2: The Mrs Clause but due to contractual disputes was unable to be a part of the upcoming The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause.
