Career

Film and television He was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2004, before finally winning in 2005, his last year on the soap.

He also starred in the erotic psychological thriller Deeper and Deeper (2010), playing the role of Ryan, a bank teller who rents a room in a high rise building to spy on an attractive business woman who lives in an adjacent building.

Lago played the police officer in the 2019 suspense-thriller Rendezvous. In 2019, he was also cast in the guest-starring role of Justin Ramos in The Bay.

Theater David played Elvis Presley from 2010 to 2011 in Million Dollar Quartet at the Apollo Theater in Chicago. The 90-minute rock 'n' roll musical was performed 8 times a week to sold-out crowds. He played the lead in Superman in 2016 at the Grove Theater in Upland, California.
