David Bauer (born Herman Bernard Waldman,[1] March 6, 1917[2] – February 8 or 13, 1973[3][4]) was an American film, television, and stage actor who, from November 1958 until his death, was based primarily in Britain.

[11] After serving in the army from 1943 to 1946, Waldman joined the Actors' Laboratory Theatre in Los Angeles,[3] appearing that year in the west coast premiere of Harry Brown's A Sound of Hunting, wherein, according to Los Angeles Daily News critic David Hanna, Brown's sometimes "overdrawn" supporting characters managed to retain some "semblance of credulity [sic], thanks largely to the finesse of the men who play them.

"[12] Waldman's radio credits include ongoing roles in Big Town[13] and Those We Love[14][15] and at least one appearance on the anthology series Favorite Story.

[21] Following his appearance before the House Un-American Activities Committee, Wolfe was blacklisted; consequently, the professional alias underwent one last tweak, and, as of no later than the December 1956 New York Shakespeare Festival revival of Titus Andronicus, Waldman was being billed as David Bauer.

[1][22] As David Bauer, he appeared in The Baron, The Champions (where he provided opening narration for each episode), The Avengers, Department S, Gideon's Way, Jason King, The Prisoner, The Protectors, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), The Saint, Strange Report, and Undermind.
