However, he had always felt inspired by British actors like Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, Ian McKellen and many others.

London film critics have "spoken highly" about David's performance in the film: "David Galea's charismatic central performance is captivating; he shows real skill in making you root for Dee through the hard times" said Harry Jackman, Raindance Film Festival programmer
"The scene where Dee talks in his native tongue to the vacant space in the back seat of his car as he drives through the night time streets is a stand out moment." Greg Wetherall, HuffPost Entertainment
"As Dee, Italian actor David Galea is perfect for the role. With his cheeky smile, the glint in his eyes, and his very flirty Italian ways, this man can sell anything, even London Bridge". Tim Baros HITC Lifestyle
