Born in Puerto Rico, but raised in the Bronx borough of New York City, Zayas joined the United States Air Force early in life, where he gained skills that would lead him to join the New York City Police Department after he was discharged from service.

Born in Puerto Rico, but raised in the Bronx borough of New York City, Zayas joined the United States Air Force early in life, where he gained skills that would lead him to join the New York City Police Department after he was discharged from service. Zayas' career as a police officer in turn allowed him to develop as a character actor, leading to a series of acting jobs on television and film mainly playing law enforcement officers. However, working in law enforcement also provided Zayas with the ability to play characters on the other side of the law, like Enrique Morales on HBO's long-running prison-drama OZ. In a total number of 28 episodes from 2002–2003, Zayas's character became one of the most ruthless inmates featured in that series.
A member of the LAByrinth Theater Company since 1992, a New York City-based traveling actors group, Zayas has branched out into television and film projects, which has diversified his résumé with guest roles in such popular television series such as New York Undercover, Person of Interest, and NYPD Blue. It was at Labyrinth where he met his future wife, actress Liza Colón-Zayas. They presently reside in Los Angeles where Zayas plays homicide detective Angel Batista in the Showtime drama Dexter.
David is also featured in the 2010 indie hit Shadowboxing, which has been gaining some steam on the film festival circuit. He also appeared in Sylvester Stallone's film The Expendables and The Brothers Strause's film Skyline.

The Most Bad-Ass Roles of The Expendables I and II (15 person items)"Angel Batista on Dexter (2006-2010)
''Because you're like a retarded puppy.''
This guy might not look like a bad-ass, but he has helped tracking down some of the biggest serial killers in Miami. If only he could manage to arrest them before Dexter kills them."
