David Keith

David Keith has been out of the spotlight in recent years but when he hit it big in An Officer and a Gentleman he became a hot property. Many movies followed, including The Lords of Discipline, Firestarter, Heartbreak Hotel (in which he played Elvis Presley), and The Indian in the Cupboard, to name just a few. He\u2019s kept busy doing episodic television and directing a handful of genre films. Now he\u2019s working as a creative executive producer, and in his new horror-thriller Walden (available on VOD beginning December 12) he\u2019s given himself a good part as a judge. He sat on his front porch in Knoxville, Tennessee and reminisced with Leonard and Jessie for a cozy, comfortable conversation.\xa0
