His parents welcomed him to Redhill, a town in the Reigate and Banstead district of Surrey, England, on April 18, 1968. However, his family moved to Canada when he was four years old.

Shortly after their arrival in Toronto, David was enrolled in a high school in the city, where he first explored the possibility of acting. He subsequently starred in a number of films at his school and exceeded his own expectations.

The British-born Canadian star later dropped out of school in his senior year after discovering that he was destined to become an actor and computer expert.

David’s love of computers dates back to his teenage years in Toronto, where he glued himself to the machine for hours as a teenager. Back then, he pursued such an obsessive interest in the machine that he declared himself a computer freak.

After he dropped out of school to dedicate himself to acting and computers, Hewlett founded a web development company called “Darkly Media”. He also founded an internet community called ‘Fusefilm.com’ for filmmakers.

His Family – Wife, Children

Over the years, David Hewlett has enjoyed a flourishing and harmonious acting career, but the same cannot be said about his marriage as he tied the knot twice.

In 2000 he married the Canadian actress Soo Garay for the first time. The two lovers were legally divorced shortly after they had lived together as man and wife for four years. Not long after, David found love again, but this time in the arms of Jane Loughman, to whom he was later married in 2008.

While David’s marriage to Soo (also known as Sue) did not bear a child, he shares a son with Jane Loughman (Sebastian Flynn Loughman Hewlett).
