- Following the 1986 film Platoon (1986), Charlie Sheen -- who starred in the films -- did a TV interview and credits Keith David with saving his life. While shooting dailies in an open-doored Huey gunship, the helicopter banked too hard, and Sheen was thrown towards -- and would have gone through -- the open door. David grabbed Sheen by the back and pulled him back in.
- Nominated for Broadway's 1992 Tony Award as Best Actor (Featured Role - Musical) for "Jelly's Last Jam."
- Took over as narrator for the show "City Confidential" (1998) after the death of Paul Winfield.
- His ex-wife attended Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY) with Lisa Nicole Carson where they both she appeared (and worked backstage) in theater department productions.
- Very popular voice-over actor.
Keith David is known for his role in the film The Seventh Day (2021) as Father Louis.
