David Bailey began acting when his career in industry came to an abrupt end in 2001.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of Clark Gable, Sean Connery and David Tennant, he started working as a Supporting Artist, playing countless background characters, including many photographers . . . for those of you who don't know, the 'other' David Bailey is famous for his camera work. Confusing name similarities like this prompted David to use his initials and change his professional name to D J Bailey.
To progress further, DJ took a three-year Performing Arts course at the University of Bath. He continued his 'extra' work in Films and Television graduating to walk-ons and more recently leading roles in independent film productions and supporting roles on TV and in feature films.
DJ has appeared in Commercials on TV and on the Internet, as well as in Print and Poster campaigns. He can be found on SPOTLIGHT and is a member of EQUITY, the UK actors' union.
