David Hodo, born in 1947 in San Andreas, California, is best known for his role in the Village People as the construction worker. He appeared in the 1980 cult musical film Can't Stop the Music, where his vibrant performance contributed to the film's campy charm and exploration of the disco era. Hodo's background in theater and dance, honed through his education at California State University, Sacramento, adds depth to his portrayal, making him a memorable figure in the realm of exploitation cinema.
Can't Stop the Music
In this pseudo audio biography of the Village People, Jack Morell (a thinly disguised caricature of the group's founder, Jacques Morali) is a struggling composer desperate to gain fame with his songs, but all he needs is a group to sing them. With the help of his roommate Samantha and a lawyer named Ron, Jack forms a group of six "macho men" from his Greenwich Village neighborhood, and the rest of the film details their rise to fame from New York City to a climatic concert in San Francisco.
