David Fury started out as an actor on stage and film, and then became a stand up comedian. He started writing for television with his then girlfriend Elin Hampton. The two wrote a couple of specs (sample scripts for TV shows which are then sent to executives as proof of writing skill) and from they got jobs on The Jackie Thomas Show and Pinky and the Brain. David and Elin were then offered work on two shows: Buffy and Life’s Work. David actually turned down Buffy, even though he thought it was a better show, as Life’s Work had the potential to be bigger. It was cancelled and he ended up meeting Joss again and writing the episode Go Fish. His partner Elin took a job at Mad About You, and David got the job at Buffy. David rose from Producer to Co-Executive Producer in just three years, and was a Consulting Producer of Angel. Fury wrote a story called ‘Glittering World’ (a OMWF reference?) in the graphic novel, Tales of the Slayers. He was also the voice of Jock, in Raider’s of the Lost Ark. The clearest example of his work are the prop plane pilot’s words to Indiana Jones, “That’s just my pet snake, Reggie! Show a little backbone, will ya?”
David played Gregor Framkin in the Angel episode ‘Smile Time‘, and appeared in the Angel season two episode ‘Reprise‘ as one of the people sacrificing the goat.
