- David Troughton was born in London on 9 June 1950, the son of noted Shakespearean actor Patrick Troughton, who is now best remembered as the Second Doctor in Doctor Who (1963). He started his own acting career at the Unicorn Theatre for Children. His stage career has included repertory at Leeds, Manchester and Bromley, roles at the Royal Court and the National Theatre.
He is a leading member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and is considered to be one of Britain's finest classical actors. He has brought his regal presence to the narration of the television series Diana: Story of a Princess (2001) and the portrayal of "King George V" in the acclaimed All the King's Men (1999). His son, Sam Troughton, is also an actor.

- He is good friends with Peter Davison and Colin Baker, two of his father's successors as the Doctor.
- In the early 1970s, he shared a flat with Colin Baker. Both Baker and his father Patrick Troughton are best known for playing the Doctor in Doctor Who (1963). Baker was later the best man at his wedding to Alison Groves and the godfather of his eldest son Sam Troughton.
- He has consistently declined offers to attend Doctor Who conventions because he believes he would only be asked questions about his father.
- He is the eldest son of Patrick Troughton.
- He has performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
- [on A Very Peculiar Practice (1986)] The writing was so poignant, so funny - and it was one of the few anti-Thatcher (Margaret Thatcher) series. I'm not sure the BBC realised what gold it had in its hands.
