DAVID "SQUATCH" WARD

                                                 BIOGRAPHY

                                                 “Ned Bell”

                David "Squatch" Ward stars as Ned Bell, the band's gigantic roadie with a heart

 of gold, in Disney Channel's new original series, So Weird.

          Squatch was born in Glasgow, Scotland but moved to British Columbia at age three. 
 After a period in Toronto, where he did most of his schooling, he became a carpenter and 
moved out West.  He eventually began work in the hotel business and became the owner 
of his own hotel.

          Squatch got started in the entertainment business in 1986 as a stand-up comic 
while running a nightclub, which featured stand-up comedy. The second week that the club 
was in operation, one of the acts failed to show.  With a full house that had paid a hefty 
cover charge to get in, Squatch took the stage and told jokes. He was such a hit that 
three months later he quit his job and went on the road, where he toured for the next four 
years.

          In 1990, Squatch was hosting a talent contest when he was approached by an 
agent who went on to get him auditions for films and television shows being shot in Vancouver.  The rest is history.  His numerous film credits include: National Lampoon's Golf Punks, Dirty, 
Underworld, Carpool, Once in a Blue Moon, Ernest Rides Again, Harmony Cats, Stay Tuned,
 Mystery Date and Wings.  His television appearances include Police Academy, The Sentinel,
 Dead Man's Gun, Alibi, The Outer Limits, The adventures of Shirley Holmes, Highlander, 
The Commish, Neon Rider, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Mom P.I. and Wiseguy.
