David Smilow (Sergeant Mike Gallion) is fortunate to be appearing in his third premiere of a Mark St. Germain play, having performed in Dad last season at GBPT and Wednesday’s Child a few seasons back (a lifetime bordering on eternity in COVID-19 terms) at the Florida Studio Theatre in Sarasota. A relatively recent arrival to acting after a long writing career, he’s taken on roles ranging from Heisenberg in Copenhagen, to Serebriakov in Uncle Vanya, Orgon in Tartuffe, and the besieged college professor, John, in David Mamet’s Oleanna. David has also played another species onstage—specifically Canus—having appeared as a dog in two different plays. As a writer, his work earned him multiple Emmy and Writers Guild awards during stints on such venerable (and now departed) shows as One Life to Live, Guiding Light, and As the World Turns. David lives in the Hudson Valley, having survived residency in both Los Angeles and New York City.
