BC The Mag FALL 2018 47
studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre
and Film Institute at NYU, Dan honed in
on elements of method acting by trying
to become one with the character.
After receiving positive feedback on
his audition, Dan was asked to audition
once more until he solidified his role as
an actor in the film. The film has been
accepted in the Cannes Short Film Corner,
a sister festival to the main festival
in Cannes, France, which took place in
May.
Dan said, “I think in the acting profession,
if it’s a passion of yours, if it’s
something you really want to go for, the
onus is upon you to kind of make that
happen, to showcase the talent and passion
that you have…bringing out those
expressive and artistic elements.”
Although Dan has not officially
agreed to do other films, he has been
looking at other scripts and is hoping to
fulfill his decades-old
dream of forming another
production company.
He looks to
continue on a path
filled with both real
estate and artistic exposure,
while still
being a hands-on father alongside
Gabrielle, showing their children that
they can do anything they aspire to do.
“I think we all have passions in life
and, sometimes, life kind of takes them
away,” Dan said. “It’s so important to
never give up on those dreams.”
