Biography

Hunt graduated from Loughborough University, Leicestershire. He worked as a schoolteacher and American football coach before moving to New York City. Hunt graduated from the Juilliard School in New York. In 2001, he founded a production company, Four Boys Entertainment, with his wife, American actress Patricia Heaton. They have four sons and they divide their time between Los Angeles and Cambridge. In 2019, Broti Gupta, a writer on Hunt's wife's television show Carol's Second Act, complained that David Hunt had inappropriate contact with her, a claim which Hunt and his lawyer denied.
