David Bryan "D.B." Woodside (born July 25, 1969 in Jamaica, Queens, New York) is an American actor. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of White House Chief of Staff (and later President) Wayne Palmer on the FOX action/drama series 24. Additionally, he is noted for his roles as bass singer Melvin Franklin in the NBC miniseries The Temptations, and Robin Wood on the WB/UPN series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
After injuring his knee while playing football for his high school's (Roy C. Ketcham High School) team, Woodside heard the drama club performing a scene from a play and was interested. This exposure pushed Woodside to an acting career.

Woodside got his start in the second season of Murder One in 1996, playing Aaron Mosley. After that series' cancellation, he guest starred on The Practice, Snoops, The Division and Once and Again. He also appeared in the 2000 film Romeo Must Die as Aaliyah's on-screen brother. He made a guest appearance on JAG in its final season as FBI Agent Rod Benton.
