David Hornsby

David Hornsby is the kind of multi-hyphenate I deeply respect. Carnegie Mellon-trained and willing to commit fully to a role as grim and physical as the defrocked priest Rickety Cricket on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, he also writes and produces the show, shaping the comedy from the inside out. Add voice work and a solid stretch on Good Girls and you have a craftsman with an unusually broad toolkit. I value performers who can both act and build the thing itself; they are the quiet backbone of any long-running comedy, and Hornsby is exactly that sort of indispensable utility player.

David Alan Hornsby (born December 1, 1975) is an American actor. He is best known for his recurring role as defrocked priest Matthew "Rickety Cricket" Mara on the FX comedy series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, for which he also writes and produces. Hornsby had a regular role on the NBC comedy-crime series Good Girls (2018–2020).
