Japanese/Danish actor David Sakurai was born and raised in Denmark. He moved to Japan and received his theatrical training in Tokyo. Thus began his acting career in Japan, honing his skills in the indie film scene in Tokyo.
After relocating back to Denmark, David proved himself a strong, versatile actor having been cast in supporting roles in drama, comedy, and action.
However, still facing adversity in the Danish industry by being typecast for his “foreign” look, he undertook the heavy task by writing, acting, producing, and directing his own material. Having a desire to not only penetrate the Danish market and industry, David had set his sights on creating work with international appeal.
Ud Af Moerket (Through Darkness) was his first feature film creation that exemplified this. He was in front and behind the camera manning the script, cast, and crew as the lead actor and director.
2010 sees David taking lead roles in the film Eastern Army and Ud Af Moerket.
