Considering his extraordinary film career, 68-year-old Keith David brings decades of experience to this new project. With over 300 credits to his name, David is one of the most respected and versatile performers in the industry.
His distinctive bass voice has made him particularly renowned in voice acting, where he’s lent his talents to numerous animated projects, video games, and documentaries.

What To Expect From ‘Duster’
While specific details about David’s role in ‘Duster’ remain under wraps, the show appears to be set in the 1970s Southwest, following a getaway driver for a growing crime syndicate. The series was first announced as part of J.J. Abrams’ overall deal with WarnerMedia (now Warner Bros. Discovery) back in 2020, but production was delayed due to the pandemic and industry strikes.
With its May 15 premiere date now confirmed, ‘Duster’ joins MAX’s growing slate of original programming as the streaming platform continues to expand its content offerings.
