Trivia

  • Настоящее имя - David Wheeler.
  • Актерскому мастерству он учился в Гилдхольской Школе Музыки и Драмы (Guildhall School of Music and Drama, The Baricon) в Лондоне и окончил её в 1984-ом.
  • Как и большинство британских актёров, он приобрёл опыт сценической работы, играя в театре, в основном – в областных театрах Лондона.
  • Первой коммерческой актёрской работой Дэвида стали съёмки в рекламе хлопьев из отрубей фирмы «Kelogg»s', но тем временем он не забывал и о музыке: исполнение песен Саймона и Гарфункеля в клубах принесло ему карточку Equity – актёрского профсоюза.
  • До того, как стать профессиональным актёром, Дэвид основал панк-рок группу. Его коллеги по группе решили изучать актёрское мастерство, и он вскоре последовал их примеру.
  • В 1999 году опубликовал свой первый роман - «Этот человек – легенда» (This Man's a Legend).
  • За роль в фильме «Семь лет в Тибете» он был объявлен персоной нон-грата в Китае.
  • У Дэвида Тьюлиса есть дочь от гражданского брака с Анной Фрил — Грэйси Эллен Мэри Тьюлис (09.07.05).
  • Мог сыграть роль Саймона Грубера в фильме 'Крепкий орешек 3: Возмездие'(1995).
  • Во время съемок фильма «Остров доктора Моро» (1996) он упал с лошади и сломал ногу. Из-за этого случая он поклялся никогда не смотреть фильм и пропустил премьеру.
