The comedian will star as Gwynfor, a 14th century doctor in The Bastard Executioner, an upcomijng period series from the makers of Sons of Anarchy.

David appears as his “p**s prophet” – a medieval medical practitioner who diagnoses his patients by the shade of their wee.
“I didn’t mind dealing with the p**s. It was the horses which scared me. I lied at the audition, when they asked if I could ride, and then spent the next few weeks in the saddle of this monstrously big horse,” he told The Irish Sun.
The Savage Eye star is keeping his fingers crossed that the series will be a hit.

“If it takes off, I could certainly bank roll some of the TV projects I want to do back in Ireland,” he said.
David will be starring alongside a host of famous faces in the drama including English singer Ed Sheeran and True Blood star Stephen Moyer.
