Hi, I’m Dave Hudson.

I’m an actor based in Chicago with a passion for telling powerful, human stories—whether that’s in a gritty drama, a heartfelt commercial, or a lighthearted comedy. I’ve had the privilege of guest-starring on Chicago PD and appearing as a recurring spokesperson in national commercial campaigns, including RATE (formerly Guaranteed Rate).

With over 20 years of experience in both performing and producing, I bring more than just talent to set—I bring professionalism, instinct, and a deep understanding of how story comes together on camera. I’ve been told I have a natural presence, a strong but relatable energy, and the ability to make a character feel real from the first moment I speak.

What sets me apart? I’ve lived a lot of life. I’ve been a producer, a director, a teacher, and a speaker—and I carry those lived experiences into every role I take on. My work is honest, grounded, and always connected to something deeper. I’m here to move people, make moments matter, and create something meaningful—every single time I step in front of the lens.
