This Goes To 11: Spinal Tap Movie Trivia

Michael McKean as David St. Hubbins

David St. Hubbins, dimwitted and sporting an over-the-top blonde rock and roll hairstyle, is the rhythm guitarist and lead singer for Spinal Tap. Played by comedic actor Michael McKean, St. Hubbins’ role in the film is completely improvised. According to the Spinal Tap storyline, St. Hubbins grew up next door to future bandmate Nigel Tufnel and the two began playing music together when they were aged 7 and 8. St. Hubbins claims that his family name refers to the patron saint of quality footwear. He also brags during the movie that “I believe virtually everything I read, and I think that is what makes me more of a selective human than someone who doesn’t believe anything.”
