David was also an avid sportsman, and baseball was his first love. Completing high school in 1961, the 18-year-old was offered a professional baseball contract with the Chicago White Sox organization. But, in his second year of college, David opted instead to accompany his family to Mexico City where his father had accepted a professorship at the Collegio Americano, a graduate school for young diplomats.Beginnings in the theatre were also rooted in Minneapolis under equally flukish circumstances. Married at twenty-one and with a wife and child to support, David had a major falling out over a friend‘s amorous pursuit of his wife. The ‘friend’ was an actor with the Firehouse Theatre (later re-formed in New York as the famous Café La Mama) and was beginning rehearsals for the U.S. premier production of John Arden’s Sergeant Musgraves Dance. ‘Diplomacy’ went out the window and, following a confrontation that left David’s friend unable to continue in the play, David took over his role as the ‘Pugnacious Collier.’
