It was a true moment of complete exhilaration and sheer panic for Danny. "Oh great, I'm going to be wearing his wig!!!" he thought. The costume came in and yes, their measurements are exactly the same. Only difference was, Danny's head is a quarter inch bigger than Johnny's. Everything else matched up size wise. The whole thing was so bizarre!! After that, full make up was applied. It was the typical Hollywood set up, "Hurry up and wait!" Danny was taken to the set of AIW and everyone wanted a picture with him. They do know he's NOT Johnny, right? He got a pic w Avril's parents who are two of the nicest people he's ever met. The set was AMAZING and all of the props were the ones used in the movie. Danny sat on Johnny's Mad Hatter chair at the end of the table and a zillion still cameras suddenly came out. Funny because cameras were forbidden on the set. As Danny sat there, blinded by the cameras flashing and the contact lenses, a Disney AIW video commentary guy came up to him and asked him to sign a release for the "behind the scenes" making of the Alice in Wonderland music video which will be included on the Alice DVD release. He did a complete interview w him in costume and on the actual set. He kept calling him Johnny, as did most of the crew. He was also excited to hear that the video would be shown after the movie when credits were rolling. He's officially in the movie w Johnny (and not as a extra or double) but as the same character!!! It's a true honor for Danny to say the least. While filming the commentary video, Avril walked over to him and said : "OMG You look just like him!" Avril is the nicest, sweetest, most adorable celebrity he's ever met and he's met many. She was so nice and pleasant to Danny. She was shooting 12 hour days but was still so fun, professional and energetic. Danny and Avril went through a half dozen takes. He had a lot of interaction w her but he was told only a few seconds would be used. He immediately liked the song after hearing it a few times while filming. After they wrapped the shoot, he took several pics w Avril, her parents and the suits. It was late when they wrapped and it was a task getting back to his trailer. Folks wanted pictures and those contacts blurred Danny's vision. Needless to say, he was thrilled, honored and very proud to be a part of this project. He'll be posting an album on My Space soon. Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in such a great project. It is possible that great things can happen for celebrity impersonators. Danny kept thinking "how in the heck can something like this happen to me?" The whole time, he kept hearing in his head Johnny's line from the Alice movie: "Only if you believe it is."

Danny had a great time a few weeks ago working on the TV pilot "Celebri-Tease". The show features some of the Worlds best impersonators/lookalikes. His good friends Tiffany Claus, Renee Wiggins, Lorna Bliss and Tracy Jones were all selected by producers to participate. He can't say anything about the show yet (disclosure stuff again) but he thinks TV audiences will love it. It really shows what impersonators deal with in their daily lives. He'll be posting a behind the scenes album on My Space and Facebook soon. Stay tuned...

Danny did a really nice long interview piece for a BELGIUM TV entertainment program. Its Europe's version of "Entertainment Tonight". Special thanks to Greet Ramaekers . The full interview will posted on you tube and here on the web site soon.

Of the three Maury shows Danny has done in the last three years, this recent one was by far his favorite. Despite the nasty NY weather, he had the most incredible time of his life. The staff at Maury treated all of the impersonator cast as if they were the real thing. Everything was FIRST CLASS. The new cast was incredible and are some of the best look-alikes Danny has ever seen. There was a really nice camaraderie with this cast. The Maury staff did such a great job on this show. It was so much fun and you won't want to miss it. It airs during sweeps on March 18.

While Danny was out filming segments for Maury in the streets of NY, he was once again hit by the paparazzi. It's become something of a regular occurrence in the big cities. Danny really doesn't like going out in the city streets and acting like Johnny because it's weird and he doesn't like to give people the wrong impression. His number one most important standing rule is to tell people that he's NOT him. Four impersonators, including Danny, were taken in a couple of big vans with the crew to NYC to get reactions from people. Of course, walking anywhere in NY is a task in itself let alone doing it as "Johnny". While they were filming "Rihanna", Danny walked a few blocks in semi JD dress and went into a local deli to use the facilities. When he came out everyone in the deli (workers, customers, etc) were all staring at him with the biggest smiles on their faces. He told his bodyguard something to the effect of : "lets get the hell out of here!" He saw some camera guys behind him about a block away and high tailed it back to the van. The one TMZ guy chased him and waited outside of the Van asking him to come out. He was on the phone the whole time. There's no doubt in Danny's mind that he thought he was really Johnny. It was at that second that "Rihanna" walked out and then "Robert Pattinson" walked by. As you can imagine, the pap guys were totally CONFUSED and they chased the other look -alikes. Of course, they eventually figured it out that they were all impersonators. Danny's producer told him to walk into the restaurant so they got him on camera there. By that time there was a huge crowd gathered and he waved at them. Another bizarre day in Danny's life. And that's not even the kicker. Danny still had to go to TIMES SQUARE later that same night at 9pm w Tiffany to walk around in a snow storm as "Johnny and Angelina". Times Square was packed w tourists from all over the world. Even on this cold snowy night, there were people everywhere!!! The idea was to take Danny and Tiffany out to the Square to see what people would do. He remembers getting out of the Van thinking, "there is NO WAY people are going to think that 'Johnny' and 'Angelina' are walking around the streets of New York virtually un-escorted". Besides, it was well publicized that they were both in Rome filming "The Tourist". When he and Tiffany got out of the Van, the first thing he noticed was at how big the crowd was gathering as we walked to the Square. They had all of two bodyguards. An old lady walked up to him through the crowd and gave him a pamphlet and said, "Johnny, do you have true happiness?? You should come to my church w me and find true enlightenment w our Yogi." They were literally mobbed in Times Square w the Paps yelling "Are you two an item?" "Now Brad gets a taste his own medicine." "Angie, will you adopt Johnny's kids?", etc. It was all so surreal and insane! Even with Danny and Maury's producers yelling out that they were look-alikes, people didn't care or listen. There were people from all over the world trying to get pictures w them. "Johnny, I'm from Denmark...Spain...France...China...Japan, etc." It was all so scary and overwhelming. Once again, Look for the show to air on March 18, 2010.

Danny will be on the Maury Povich show on Thursday co-hosting along w his good friend Tiffany "Angelina" Claus in a rebroadcast from February 2008. Check your local listings for show times. It's a rerun for Maury's version of the Academy Awards. It's hard to believe Danny has been on the Maury show three times. A Maury producer told Tiff that she and Danny were the "faces" of their impersonator shows.
