David Verrey played Golgarach and McGrew in series 3 of Knightmare. Despite the fact that he only appeared in eight episodes altogether, Verrey has been one of the most frequently seen Knightmare actors on television since appearing in the programme.

Guest roles in Poirot and Birds of a Feather in the early '90s led on to a regular role in the Channel Five soap opera Family Affairs from 1999 to 2000. Also in 1999, Verrey appeared in an episode of the eighth series of the popular BBC sitcom Red Dwarf, playing a large bully whom Cat (Danny John-Jules) was trying to goad into beating him up so that he would be sent to the hospital wing.

More recently, David Verrey has popped up in the film Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason in the role of Giles Benwick, and then in the first series of the new Doctor Who, in which he played one of the large-bodied people who were taken over by the Slitheen.

In 2007, David Verrey has appeared in both The Afternoon Play and Judge John Deed on BBC1. He was also in The Bill on ITV1 at 8pm on Wednesday April 11th 2007 as Mark Bright, a private investigator.
