David DeGrow Shotwell’s career is a wild little mix—one minute you spot him in “Lake George” from 2024, and before you know it, you’re down some indie film rabbit hole like “The Bounceback” (2013) or “Becoming” (2016). Man’s got range, even if he isn’t exactly plastered all over billboards in Times Square. “Lake George” feels like a low-key fever dream, that kind of indie flick where you can almost smell the damp pines and regret floating off the water. Shotwell moves through it with this quiet, almost stubborn energy—sort of like a guy who’s seen too much and would really just rather not talk about it, thanks. Back in “The Bounceback,” he’s tangled up in that classic post-breakup mess, the sort of role where you’re laughing one second and cringing the next because, honestly, who hasn’t been there? It’s raw, awkward, and more than a little funny, mostly because Shotwell doesn’t sugarcoat a thing. By the time you catch him in “Becoming,” you get the sense he’s always hunting for something deeper in his characters—like he wants to find the weird little cracks in people and pry them open just to see what’s inside. Not a blockbuster guy, but if you’re into layered performances, he’s someone you keep an eye on. Honestly, it’s actors like him that keep indie film interesting.
Okay, so you’ve got this guy, right? Used to rake in chips at the poker table for five years—yeah, living the high-roller life, counting cards, bluffing like a pro, all that jazz. Then, outta nowhere, he chucks the cards and grabs a pen. Swaps late nights and smoky rooms for the click-clack of a keyboard. Wild move, honestly, considering most people would kill for that poker lifestyle, but hey, sometimes your soul just screams for a plot twist. Now he’s out here, spinning stories instead of reading faces, probably still using those poker instincts to suss out characters and drop killer plot turns. I mean, you gotta respect that kind of career switch—going from reading tells at the table to writing tales at the desk. At the end of the day, it’s all about playing your hand, right? Some folks just shuffle the deck and deal themselves a brand new game.
