David Chiu

In ‘97 I moved to LA to become a rich and famous Hollywood actor. I worked the graveyard shift at Cedars-Sinai hospital supporting computer systems. Long-story short, I was fired for hacking into a computer system (which was a joke gone wrong) and a temp agency placed me at a dot-com company. Now somehow, even with my gangsta-ass attitude and me constantly declaring “I’m an actor and this is just a day job” people kept giving me bigger job titles, more money, stock options, etc, etc. Years later after all the crazy rockstar-esque parties and watching colleagues literally make millions, the industry I kept dissing is now taking over Hollywood and our daily lives. I’m at the top of my game in the internet industry and I’m about to change the game with an original webisode series I’m self producing and acting in called “IT Gangsta” which has already received over 12,000 views and combines web 2.0, Urban 2.0, Hip-Hop and Technology.
