Dave Crockett
Meet Dave. In 2025, Dave Crockett was personally cast by director Shane Andries and actor Billy Magnussen as the accountant in the feature film Mattress Mac, currently in post-production with an expected release in summer 2026.
Also in 2025, Dave toured nationally with the stage production The Grand Ol’ Christmas Show, portraying a 1950s disc jockey. Working closely with writer and director Will Hearn, Dave brought his real-world experience as a disc jockey to the role. The tour spanned 20 cities, 24 performances, and 7 states.
Dave has been the principal voice in thousands of radio commercials at the local, regional, and national levels. For more than a decade, he voiced 120 dealerships of Group One Automotive, with his studio, Weho Audio Studios LLC, serving as their primary hub for both radio and television production.
Confidential projects include narration for U.S. Department of Defense video productions. (Things that Congress gets to see, but you don’t.)
In the gaming industry, Dave served as the principal voice in a video game adventure, collaborating directly with the Canadian production team Jean-François Fiset and Alexandre Fiset, creators of KONA I and KONA II.
In recent years, Dave has appeared in national print campaigns for BASF and Methodist Hospitals, and has voiced or appeared in television and radio commercials for major brands including Verizon, Keurig/Dr Pepper, GEICO, and Dish Network. He has also produced industrial marketing content for Moen Faucets (DIY Program) and oil and gas industry safety programs.
Unusual Facts About Dave
Hollywood at 16
At just 16 years old, Dave was hired as an uncredited bad guy in the movie Hawmps. The film starred legendary character actors Slim Pickens, Jack Elam, James Hampton, and Chris Connelly. Between takes, Dave learned the fine art of Liar’s Poker directly from Slim, Jack, and James—arguably a better education than the acting gig itself.A Brush With Doc Brown
In 2024, Dave was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma and had a noticeable chunk of his nose removed by a surgeon named—no joke—Doc Brown. The result: a small scar, a great story, and nostrils that no longer match. Time travel not included.Falling From the Sky (On Purpose)
Dave is a retired skydiver who once held a B-License in the sport. He logged 205 mostly successful jumps before hanging up his rig at the insistence of his wife, Mary, after breaking both of his ankles, ten years apart.
Bonus fact: His highest skydive was from 21,000 feet over Wharton, Texas, leaping from a King Air while using a nasal cannula for oxygen before exiting the airplane. Gravity always won, but Dave usually did too.Sharing the Stage With Legends (Across Time)
Dave once performed in the historic Orpheum Theater in Galesburg, Illinois—Built in 1916 and famed for hosting vaudeville legends Harry Houdini, Jack Benny, the Marx Brothers, George Burns, and many others. As Dave put it, “Standing and performing on the same planks they did was something I could have never expected to do in my lifetime.” The stage still bore the scar of a trapdoor cut out for Houdini.
ON-CAMERA
Meet My Friend, the Camera. It’s not like I’ve done dozens of films or spent a lifetime on stage—I don’t want to mislead anyone here. However, based on my experience, which includes 30 years on the radio in Atlanta, Chicago, and Houston, I can confidently say that I much prefer working in front of a camera to performing in front of a live audience.
For one thing, video is very forgiving. Editors in post-production can make you look way better than you deserve. Add in smart camera placement, flattering lighting, the right lenses, and a little makeup, and suddenly you’re completing the illusion. Clever, well-written material helps too—always appreciated.
Honestly, the hardest part is remembering to relax, enjoy myself, and trust the person who hired me to steer the ship and give me good direction.
Audio DEMOS
Can You Hear Me Now Audio Production and Voiceover have been a lifelong passion, dating all the way back to my first radio job in Tucson—right out of high school. This was the era of razor blades, grease pencils, and splicing tape, when editing meant actually cutting things and hoping you didn’t mess it up. The challenge was taking a terribly written commercial and somehow making it sparkle.
At 18 or 19, I won my first Addy Award for a series of bar commercials I wrote and produced—proof that even questionable copy can be saved with enough creativity and caffeine. Later on, I deepened my love for the craft, producing tour commercials for artists like the Backstreet Boys, Mötley Crüe, Lady A, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Little Big Town, Miley Cyrus, and many others.

My puppet
About The Puppets I became fascinated by how complex professional puppets have become, especially Muppet-style puppets. Building one is not as easy as you might think—so naturally, I built two: George and Sally.
Once they were finished, I tried to get clients to use them in their marketing. No luck. Poor George and Sally can’t even get work as waiters.
