David directed a made-for video puzzle contest film, Money Hunt: The Mystery Of The Missing Link in 1984. Contestants would watch the video and phone in to a 1-800 U.S. phone number with their ideas on the solution.
(edit)
David starred as Bertie Wooster in the short-lived Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Jeeves, in 1975.
(edit) David beat out Terrence Stamp for his part in Blow Up (1967). (edit) David died directly after filming the final shots for Samantha's Child (2003), collapsing as he headed towards his dressing room. (edit) David was worried during his audition for Blow Up (1967) that director Michelangelo Antonioni was rejecting his performance, by shaking his head over and over. It was after the audition he found out that Antonioni had a form of Tourette's Syndrome and was shaking uncontrollably. (edit)

David Hemmings: To say I was good or bad or not in an Antonioni film is like saying I like the color yellow in a Van Gogh.

David Hemmings: I would never, ever, ever, ever say I have regretted The A-Team, Magnum PI or Murder She Wrote or any of the others I did - and if you mention a television series, I'm sure I had a hand in it. I was, in my day, one of the best directors of episodic TV around. The A-Team was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. But after 10 years in that game, the work becomes too hard and you become facile.
