David Patrick Kelly

Compact, feisty and fierce character actor 'David Patrick Kelly' (qv) was born in Detroit, Michigan, to Margaret Elizabeth (Murphy) and Robert Corby Kelly, Sr., an accountant. He burst onto the acting scene in 1979, playing the devious leader of the leather-clad gang "The Rogues" in 'Walter Hill' (qv)'s controversial New York City gang film _The Warriors (1979)_ (qv). Kelly's tight-lipped expressions and attitude that made him appear like a grenade with the pin pulled, got him plenty of roles playing defiant young men, often in trouble with authority. He locked horns with 'Eddie Murphy' (qv) and 'Nick Nolte' (qv) in 'Walter Hill' (qv)'s fast-paced _48 Hrs. (1982)_ (qv), was dropped over a cliff by 'Arnold Schwarzenegger' (qv) in the violent _Commando (1985)_ (qv), was a member of a trio of killers after 'Harry Dean Stanton' (qv) in 'David Lynch' (qv)'s' _Wild at Heart (1990)_ (qv), and played, T Bird, the leader of a gang of arsonist murderers in _The Crow (1994)_ (qv). His range of roles in a wide variety of genres has earned him great respect in Hollywood as he is a wonderfully captivating actor. One of his most popular and influential performances came with the unsettling screeching cries of "Warriors, come out to plaaayyy", from his debut on-screen role!::firehouse44
