Lit up like Christmas
David Pevsner An interview with gay actor David Pevsner GREGG SHAPIRO | Contributing WriterGreggShapiro@aol.com I first met out actor and writer David Pevsner when we were both “theater jocks” at Niles East High School in Skokie, Ill.
We didn’t have a gay-straight alliance back then, so the theater department served that purpose. Since that time, it’s been a delight to watch Pevsner’s career take off.
He’s appeared off-Broadway, on television, in movies and even maintains a popular Only Fans page. He wrote songs for Naked Boys Singing, including “Perky Little Porn Star.” His revealing memoir Damn Shame: A Memoir of Desire, Defiance and Show Tunes, was published in 2021.
In 2012’s Scrooge & Marley (Dark Star Pictures), his first lead role in a feature film, Pevsner took on one of the most reviled but redeemed characters in literature — Ebenezer Scrooge — in a contemporary gay retelling of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol.
