REJECTED PITCHES →

The vast majority of movie pitches are rejected. Even movies that we know and sort of like were most likely rejected at some point, too. This is a webseries about the movie executives who rejected those pitches. I am beyond proud of this web series. It is one of the best things I have been a part of and I think it’s hilarious. WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY Dan Klein DIRECTED BY Greg Stees EDITED...

An Onassis Video we shot last fall. It’s amazing. Great writing by Emily Altman Great direction by Seth Reiss and Benjamin Apple, and great DP and editing by Benjamin as well. A quick shout out to all the Target employees that “didn’t see us” when we shot in their store.

This is a Jest.com video written by the Landline guys and produced by Jest. Matt Fisher and D’arcy Erokan Cardin were in it as well. Super fun to shoot, super fun to be in, super fun, super fun, super fun.

Emily Altman is a genius. This is the sketch that was awesome to perform. I hope I get to do it again. But, if you live in Buenos Aires, and have no plans on visiting New York City to see me in a live performance, you can certainly watch the above sketch!

An awesome video for Atom.com that Justin Tyler and Alden Ford wrote, shot, produced, and star in. I get to play a cop in it. Just check out my tackling skills! Also, Gilbert Gottfried is in it.

This is a spot I did for Comedy Central and Samsung. The whole shoot was great. They let me improvise a ton and then kept most of it. Hammertoe! Also, I got to use my own blazer.

This is from my awesome UCB sketch team Onassis. Look at my pale pale face! I love this sketch. Big ups to Jocelyn DeBoer, Lauren Conlin Adams, Corey Jonshon, Seth Reiss for directing, and JASON SAENZ for writing this great sketch. And Benjamin Apple for shooting and editing. If you get a chance to check out Onassis do it. We’re finalists in this year’s Friar’s Club competition.

An Owen Parsons joint. Shot by Ramsey Ess. Starring Ben Rameaka.

Short I did for UCBCOMEDY.Com and Reddit. Kevin Cragg is in it and he is awesome. Todd Beiber directed it and he is awesome. We drank warm ice tea. Which is awesome.

This is an entry for the Superbowl Pepsi Max commercial competition. Rob Hugel is great and I play the awesome Genie. Adam Kurland and Gabe Barcia-Colombo directed. I’ll be letting everyone know when it’s time to vote.

This is an awesome UCB Beta Team video by The Brig that I did right before the recent elections. My co-star was super easy to work with. Also, while we were shooting creepy balloons kept floating down from the ceiling like in IT.

MANN ON THE STREET

Another hilarious vid from my Sketch Team Gorilla Gorilla. It features one of the most talented guys I know: Timothy Dunn. Wait until the end for my super funny cameo.

THese are a series of videos I did as a chair exercising Senior named Carol La Plante. My buddy Jeff Kaplan of Waverly Films did all of the hard work. I just put on a pink sweatsuit and smoked. That’s the life!

ADIDAS King of The Bounce

This commercial shoot was a blast and also a complete and utter mess. The directors were great and ultimately let me improvise most of my dialogue. The character was a Greek myth obsessed Frat boy with a some serious rage issues. The first round commercials were a ton of fun to play and shoot (and I met my good buddy Eli James). The 2nd shoot we all arrived at Chelsea Piers and we were told that...

This is a video written by Jill Morris for my UCB team called Gorilla Gorilla. We basically had to break into the hospital and sneak all this stuff into an OB/GYN suite. Baby bikes, everybody!

It's All Greek To Me!

A couple spots I did for the kid’s internet show “Nintendo Week.” Everybody on that staff is a blast. Part 2:

LISTEN FOR ME AT THE END! THE FUTURE IS HERE!

iPhone and iCall

I love my iPhone. No bones about it. I fricking love that thing. When the Landline guys asked me to be in their newest video about the unveiling of the new 3Gs I jumped on it faster then a bus of OA members at a bake sale. Did I mention I love my iPhone?

Ramsey Ess wrote this terrific sketch for Maude Night and was kind enough to let me cover myself in green paint and take off almost all my clothes. Guess what I learned? It’s almost impossible for me to clean the 6x6 inch square between my shoulder blades by myself.

Madmen in 60 Seconds

Blink and you’ll miss me. I play Harry Crane. I look good in glasses. Thanks, Landline.

Football's Back, Baby!

Those crafty guys at the Landline shot another video with my buddy Tim Martin and a bunch of great improvisers. Blink and you’ll miss Alan Starzinski as Favre’s agent. I was channeling my inner John Gruden.

D' Angelo's Spots

No, you won’t see my beautiful mug in these TV spots. But listen at the end. Yep! That’s me doing my VO stylings.

Hey All! Just recorded a VO radio spot for Trojan Magnum Ecstasy. I get to be the announcer as well as the man who just had dreamy sex. I will post an audio clip once they send it my way.

Blagojevich Balls

I am going to start assembling all of the videos I’ve done into one concise, hilarious, website in the hopes of having a place that I can point to and be like “Look what I did.” This is a video about Rod Blagojevich, the now disgraced Governor of Illinois. It was done by the guys at Landline. They’re super topical and super funny. Enjoy:

BLAGOJEVICH IS BACK!

So those great guys at Landline had me back in to do another Ror Blagojevich sketch. I think it turned out pretty well myself! Check It Out:
