To begin with, he is the second of three children raised in Elliotts’ family. As a teenager, David was interested in rock’ n’ roll music and was the leader of a group, so left school to devote himself to music. David and his group played in the clubs of Toronto, changed its name several times, before eventually dissolving. Elliott abandoned music and returned to Milton to finish high school. His teacher, impressed by his performance in the play “King Lear”, encouraged him to choose the actor’s path. He entered the Ryerson Polytechnic Institute in Toronto, and subsequently David took part in Canada’s Stratford Festival in Ontario. More, he won the Jean Chalmers Award in the category of the Best Hope.
Afterwards, he starred in a short film in which he was noticed by one of the producers of Street Legal. He received an offer to portray Toronto police officer Nick Holgado in the CBC television series “Street Legal” (1987 – 1994). Then in 1990, Elliott tried his luck in Hollywood without success. He made several appearances in feature films and television series, yet only as a guest artist. Then he landed the main role in the series “The Untouchables” (1992 – 1993), and in the following years, Elliott was cast in a recurring role in the hit series “Melrose Place” (1994 – 1995). The greatest success in his career has without a doubt been the series “JAG” (1995 – 2005), playing the lead role of Harmon Rabb Jr, which significantly boosted his net worth.

I remember on 'JAG,' Joe Jackson punched Stephen Culp and shattered his nose.

I've never made choices based on money - I always trust my gut.

Usually in fist fights you get punched in the face.

I grew up playing war. We threw dirt and rocks at each other. We'd lead attacks. We'd break up into squads. It became a neighborhood thing for a while, our neighborhood against the other neighborhood. There was always a war breaking out somewhere.
5
At Stratford, I worked with a man named Patty Crane (Paddy Crean) who was Errol Flynn's stand-in back in the '30s in Hollywood.

I had never done any theater in high school, which actually worked to my benefit. I didn't develop any bad habits.
7
But I do enjoy the freedom of doing a movie and then having some time off.

I once got a letter from a woman who told me she was 90. She said if she were 30 years younger, I would have had to watch out. I guess 60 seems really young when you're 90. She said she would eat me with a spoon.

I've always been fairly reserved and laid-back.
10
I'm the star of the show. I should have a decent haircut.

You can never rely on musicians. I quit high school at one point to make a go of it with this band and we kept breaking up. So I went back to school.
12
Maybe our young people are not as vacuous as we would like to lead ourselves to believe - that all they're interested in is hairdos and looking at other beautiful people. Maybe they're interested in learning something.
