 My Foray Into Guerilla Marketing.  I had never heard of Guerilla Marketing until I was aksed to be involved in a Guerilla Marketing Campaign. It just so happend that a company was looking for someone who resembled a slim, pale, 6ft+ alien. I had found my calling. The plan was to creat a viral campaign that would cause a stir and claw its way through the internet. We certainly caused a stir, and pissed a few people off. This is me  as the alien.  What is Guerilla Marketing? Guerrila Marketing uses unconventional methods to get people talking about a business and, in some cases, to boost sales. Campaigns like this can ruffle a few feathers; they can be clever and they certainly get people talking. I (the alien) was the unconventional method. The campaign was set up to get people talking about a certain college. All the information is online and I will provide links as I go. So, what actually happened? An Angry YouTuber, The Men In Black And My Own Cartoon.  I arr...

 Sex Scenes.  It's. Not. Porn. I promise.  (This entire experience is a comedy sketch and can be viewed via this link) Director - Hey Danny. How are you doing? Danny - Good, thank you. Great to finally talk to you, Director - Absolutely. Likewise. So, let's get straight to it. I'll tell you my influences for the film and then give you a run down of what it's about - going to look like, etc.  Danny - Sounds good.  Director - Perfect. So, it's a cross between porn and Quentin Tarantino.  Danny - (Infinite Silence).  The above conversation more or less happened. I am 99% sure the last line came from the directors mouth. At least 90%.  But Danny, surely this is the brightest, most reddest flag in the entire effing world!  Al I can say is this...woops.  The above conversation more or less happened in the hot summer of 2013. I am fresh out of East 15, I have an agent (wow), no professional acting experience, and I am eager to to try anything. ...

  Theatre In Education. When I left acting school I had never even heard of TIE (Theatre in Education). I found out from, what was then Casting Call Pro, about a job opportunity in Spain. I would be based in Valencia for the duration of the contract (approx. 6 months), travel all over Spain performing 4 different shows to children and teenagers, AND I would be earning money as well. My first thought was “this is a con.” I spoke to my dad who was dubious, to say the least. I applied and I was offered an audition. The auditions were being hosted by a rather prestigious acting school. My Dad kindly paid for my ticket to London and off I went to audition. It was not a con after all. I am still baffled by the fact that a lot of universities and Acting Schools still do not talk about theatre in education. There seems to be a stigma attached to it, like it is not real acting work. To cut a rather long story short, I met two key members of the company who were lovely. A group audition wa...

Hello. I am Danny. That is my face. I have been acting for over a decade. Am I where I thought I would be? No. Do I have as much money as I planned to have by the time I was 34? No. Do I want to do anything else? Absolutely not. Am I delusional? Probably. Most actors who have been ploughing away as long as I have, or longer, will tell you a healthy amount of delusion is necessary to stay in an industry such as this. Not succeed, but stay.  I am going to tell you, dear reader, about what I have learned, what I have done and what I plan to do. There will be advice, both good and useless. There will also be illustrations because I love to draw, and I think we need pictures. I will talk about sex scenes (oh, the joy), being naked on camera, music videos, student films, feature films, touring theatre, money, no money, writing, not writing. All of it.  This narcissistic venture is aimed at myself. I just want to write things down and see if I can get to the bottom of why the hell I ...
