DAVID
CORENSWET

David Corenswet is an American actor born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 8 July 1993. He acted on stage as a child and later studied drama at the Juilliard School, graduating in 2016.

His television roles include The Politician and Hollywood. In the latter series, he plays Jack Castello, an aspiring actor trying to find his place in a reimagined postwar film industry.

Corenswet appears as a projectionist in Ti West’s Pearl (2022). The horror film gives him a role in a story centered on a young woman whose ambitions and isolation become increasingly unsettling.

He also appeared in Twisters (2024), an action drama built around storm chasers. Its large-scale weather scenes put his work in a different setting from the intimate tension of Pearl.

In James Gunn’s Superman (2025), Corenswet plays both Superman and his identity as Clark Kent. The role asks him to move between the public figure and the reporter behind the glasses.
