David has done cartoon voices for Colgate Palmolive, such as "Battle Of The Bandz".In the late 90s he was offered a contract (an exclusive contract) with NBC in which David was ready and able to accept. His then agent somehow managed to screw up the negotiations and blew the contract all together. David Hernandez found out later that his Agent was not ready to let him go to the network at any price. This was the first network opportunity and hit him hard as an actor. He owned a Sea Food Restaurant in the west side of Chicago for 9 years and is now in the business of helping people fight and win foreclosure battles.Hernandez took full control of producing, directing and even editing the Bi-lingual television program Coqui-tv.com which ran for several years.
