Australian actor David Berry is joining the cast of the hit television series Outlander as Lord John Grey.
The character of Lord John William Grey is described as a steadfast and honourable British subject, torn between a finely-honed sense of familial duty and a strong moral compass of right and wrong.
However, a scandal from his past has relegated Lord John to an undesirable position as governor of a desolate prison in Northern Scotland.
David attended school on a music scholarship for voice, dividing his time between schoolwork and a professional singing career, performing for Opera Australia, as a soloist at numerous concerts and festivals and singing the National Anthem at some of the nation's top sporting events..

In 2008 he was accepted into the Bachelor of Dramatic Arts program at NIDA. Highlights include playing the role of Jason in Heiner Muller’s Medea: Materials which toured to the Adelaide Fringe festival, and playing John Wilkes Booth in the musical Assassins.
Audiences will be most familiar with David for his role as James Bligh in the popular Australian Television show A Place To Call Home, for which he was nominated for Most Outstanding Supporting Actor in the 2016 Logie Awards.
