David Cubitt -- born March 18, 1965 -- is a Canadian television actor.

Born in England to a Dutch mother and British father, Cubitt was six months old when his family moved to Vancouver. While attending the University, he studied acting full time and soon afterward, he landed a role as a rugby player in "Alive," starring Ethan Hawke.

"Alive" helped spark Cubitt's career. He quickly landed one part after the next, including a role on the hit Canadian series "Traders," in which he starred for three and a half years. The show, about the high-stakes lives of a group of investment bankers, won the 1998 Gemini Award for Best Dramatic Series and Cubitt won the 1997 Gemini Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role.

After landing a development deal with CBS, Cubitt moved to Los Angeles and joined the cast of the series "Michael Hayes," playing the brother of David Caruso's title character. He also had a recurring role on the Paramount produced drama "That's Life," starring Heather Paige Kent, Ellen Burstyn and Paul Sorvino.

Cubitt's film credits include "Swann," starring Brenda Fricker, "I Shot A Man in Vegas," starring John Stockwell and Janeane Garofalo, "K2," Michael Mann's "Ali" and "The Perfect Son," for which he received the John Garfield Award for Best Actor at the Method Fest Film Festival.

For television, Cubitt starred in several telefilms including the NBC mini-series "10.5" with Kim Delaney and the movie "John Christmas." He also starred in the series "The American Embassy" and most recently starred with Tom Sizemore in the Michael Mann series "Robbery Homicide Division."

Cubitt currently portrays Lee Scanlon, a Phoenix police detective who has come to respect Allison's (Patricia Arquette) knack for seeing what he can't and intuiting things that seem to elude others, in NBC's hit drama series "Medium."

Cubitt resides in Los Angeles.

      David Cubitt is a terrific actor and deserves far more attention and should be a highly sought after actor. He really adds great depth to Detective Lee Scanlon in "Medium". I highly recommend the movie, "The Perfect Son". Cubitt does a stellar job as do Colm Feore and Chandra West his co-stars. It is a very lovely and sensitive film. Cubitt is one of those actors who has only gotten more handsome as he ages. He appears to be a really great person in real life. I also hgihly recommend "Medium" for anyone who has not seen this show before - first rate writing and acting all the way.
