Here's a guide to the many David Walton movies and TV shows outside of New Girl. David's Walton acting career kicked off with small parts in movies such as 2004 drama Stateside, which also starred Val Kilmer and Carrie Fisher, and the rejected TV pilot New Car Smell, which was helmed by David Schwimmer. Walton later appeared in a recurring role on the sitcom Cracking Up as Liam alongside Jason Schwartzman, though the show proved to be short-lived.
David Walton soon jumped on another show with 2006 thriller Heist, which was fronted by Dougray Scott and involved thieves planning an insanely ambitious heist; again, the show only lasted one season. Walton's run of bad luck with shows would continue with Quatherlife, which began as a web series released in chunks that NBC later compiled into a show. However, after the first episode they aired received bad ratings, they canceled it. Walton went on to appear in the 2009 comedy Fired Up! which was greeted with poor reviews.
In 2010 David Walton had a role in Christina Aguilera movie Burlesque and another short-lived sitcom called 100 Questions. He co-starred with Olivia Munn and Mary Elizabeth Ellis in NBC's Perfect Couples series, and had a leading part in the 2012 sitcom Bent; this also lasted for one season. Walton's fortunes turned around thanks to his recurring role as Sam on New Girl, who appeared on a couple of seasons. Sam's New Girl arc saw him break up with Jess when she cheats on him, but they later get back together only to split for good as he realizes her feelings for Nick.
David Walton has been plenty busy outside of New Girl, and in 2014 he landed the lead role in sitcom About A Boy, a TV series based on the 2002 Hugh Grant movie of the same name. The series co-starred Minnie Driver but despite strong reviews, it only lasted for two seasons. In 2016 Walton appeared as Mike in hit movie comedy Bad Moms, playing the cheating husband of Mila Kunis' Amy; he later returned for the sequel A Bad Moms Christmas.
In recent years David Walton has built up an impressive number of guest appearances on hit shows like Masters Of Sex, Brockmire and Grace And Frankie. In 2020 he had a part in NBC drama Council Of Dads, which lasted for a single season. Outside of work, David Walton is married to actress Majandra Delfino, who famously played Dwight's sister Fannie Schrute on season 9 of The Office.
