University of Pennsylvania grad David Naughton studied for a performing career at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. Naughton first developed a following via his ubiquitous appearances in the musical Dr. Pepper commercials of the 1970s ("I'm a pepper, you're a pepper" etc.) In 1979, he starred as Billy Manucci on the "disco adventure" TV series Makin' It; Naughton's vocal rendition of the title song was briefly #5 on the pop charts. His subsequent series stints included 1983's At Ease and 1986's My Sister Sam. Naughton is most familiar to horror-flick devotees as reluctant lycanthrope David Kessler in the 1981 film An American Werewolf in London. David Naughton is the younger brother of stage and film actor James Naughton.

| Jack Goodman: | [as nurse goes Jack appears] Can I have a piece of that? |
| David Kessler: | Get the fuck out of here Jack! |
| Jack Goodman: | Thanks a lot David! |
| David Kessler: | I will not be threatened by a walking meat loaf! |
| David Kessler: | It's a pentangle, a five-pointed star. It's used in witchcraft. Lon Chaney Jr. at Universal Studios said that's the mark of the Wolf Man. |
| David Kessler: | (hiding behind the bushes, talking to a little boy) - I'm, uh, the famous balloon thief. |
| Jack Goodman: | (describing his funeral) - Debbie Klein cried a lot. So, so, you know what she does? She's soooo grief-stricken, she runs to find solace in Mark Levine's bed. |
| David Kessler: | Mark... Levine? |
| David Kessler: | Mark. Levine? |
| Jack Goodman: | An as*hole! Life mocks me even in death! |

| Alex Price: | So? |
| David Kessler: | Well, I think that a werewolf can only be killed by someone who loves them. |
| David Kessler: | Maybe it's a sheep dog...let's keep going. |

| Jack Goodman: | No, really. What kind of ad is that for a pub? |
| David Kessler: | I don't know. Would you rather the Hilton? |
| David Kessler: | (to himself) - I'm going completely crazy. |
| David Kessler: | Nurse! |
| Jack Goodman: | Listen to me! |
| David Kessler: | (crying) - Nurse! |

| David Kessler: | Heathcliff. |
| Jack Goodman: | Heathcliff didn't howl! |
| David Kessler: | No, but he was on the moors. |
| David Kessler: | How could there have been witnesses? It was so dark. We were running, and I fell and Jack went to help me up, and this thing came from nowhere. I don't know what they're talking about. |

| Taxi Driver: | Haven't you heard? Last night...six of 'em. All in different parts of the city, all mutilated. He must be a real right maniac, this fella. |
| Taxi Driver: | Haven't you heard? Last night, six of 'em. All in different parts of the city, all mutilated. He must be a real right maniac, this fella. |
| David Kessler: | No. I can't take this. Am I asleep now, or awake or what? |

| Jack Goodman: | I realize I don't look so hot, David. But I thought you'd be glad to see me. David, you are hurting my feelings! |

| David Kessler: | (looking in the mirror) - Fe-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. |
| David Kessler: | (trying to get arrested) Queen Elizabeth is a man! Prince Charles is a faggot! Winston Churchill was full of shit! Shakespeare's French! |
