David Krumholtz is an American actor. As of 2006, he stars in the CBS television show NUMB3RS.

He began his acting career at the age of 13 when he followed his friends to an open audition for the Broadway play Conversations with My Father (1992). He won the role of Young Charlie opposite Judd Hirsch, Tony Shalhoub, and Jason Biggs (also making his Broadway debut).

In 1994, Krumholtz co-starred in his first television series, Monty, with Henry Winkler. The show only lasted a few episodes. In 2005, he finally found television success with the CBS series NUMB3RS, now renewed for a 2006-2007 third season. Along with his starring roles on television, Krumholtz made memorable guest appearances on ER, Law & Order, Undeclared, Lucky, and Freaks and Geeks.
He broke out of the children's movie genre with The Ice Storm (1997) and Slums of Beverly Hills (1998). In 1999, David starred in 10 Things I Hate about You. That same year, he portrayed a completely different teen character - that of Yussel, a young conflicted Jewish man in Liberty Heights.

It was the role of Yussel that brought Krumholtz to the attention of actor and filmmaker Edward Burns, who cast him in the 2001 independent movie Sidewalks of New York. In 2004, Krumholtz reunited with Edward Burns for the independent film The Last Hold-Outs. The following year he played Max in My Suicidal Sweetheart (formerly Max and Grace). Krumholtz also returned to smaller key roles in the successful films Ray and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle - two very different movies released in 2004. In September 2005, he was seen in Joss Whedon's science fiction film Serenity as Mr. Universe. Most recently, in early 2006, Krumholtz's 2003 film Kill the Poor screened in New York City at IFC Center and across the country on Comcast's On Demand cable service.
