My Primetime TV Childhood

D.C. Douglas — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:16:53 +0000

D.C.’s usual self-deprecating wit and sarcasm will not be seen tonight. Instead, we bring you this sentimental post, filmed before a live studio audience. There was my cue. I waited for the studio audience laugh to recede and then hollered out my first line. My blocking took me across the set and in Ed Asner’s general [...]

Free Online Movies, Because I Care…

D.C. Douglas — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:50:34 +0000

Times are tough and movie tickets are expensive. Younger folks who troll the internet while wearing their Guy Fawkes masks need a place where they can get their entertainment fix without having to twist their ethics into pro-piracy pretzels. A place that SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA might leave alone… Ah, hell. YouTube changed my account [...]

Storming The Castle Ad Nauseum

D.C. Douglas — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 05:52:52 +0000

The Actor had been storming castles in Hollywood for over twenty years. He had crossed many a moat and even made it inside the foyer every now and then. Victory was always short-lived and he was usually killed. Head on a pike. Another career dry spell. The Actor recently had been saved by a renaissance agent who called him [...]

Holiday Wrap-Up: Robots, Sports and a Slimeball

D.C. Douglas — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 01:03:47 +0000

Usually December marks the death of foliage, diverse TV commercials and my career. But this year, thanks to my new voice over and theatrical agents, December is a reversal of fortune for me! So, staying true to my prostitutorial™ self, I will recap the month: SLIME BALL In the television category, we have the first in [...]

Are You Not Entertained?!

D.C. Douglas — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:55:44 +0000

ACT III. Open on a barrel-chested Russell Crowe in the center of a cyber arena. He holds a computer mouse in one hand and an iPhone in the other. He looks up to the stadium and bellows. Are you not entertained?! Was it not I who uttered “retardé,” sending the Tea Party into a media [...]

My Tweets Have Big Balls

D.C. Douglas — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 05:40:08 +0000

My tweets have big balls, so sayeth The Hollywood Reporter. In all honesty, my only intention of tweeting about “Tower Heist” director Brett Ratner was to clear out the odious venereal fumes left in my head by a disheartening Q&A with the privileged Peter Pan frat-boy. In fact, my sole contribution to the Oscar-Ratner flare up was [...]

Love Letter To Dava Waite Peaslee

D.C. Douglas — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 21:45:04 +0000

It was 1989. I was tall, skinny, big-nosed, low-voiced and topped off with a mullet. In short, I was an ideal looking actor… for bad non-union Lambada knock-off flicks. I had signed with my first agent (the erudite and mischievously capricious Erika Wain) and had already auditioned for the hottest show on TV – 21 Jump Street [...]

Laughing at the Family Circus of Circumstances

D.C. Douglas — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:54:06 +0000

I have no idea how to write this blog post. And in a few paragraphs, you’ll see why. I could make this post just about vaudeville, burlesque, metaphysics, or sex in the twentieth century. But all of these things together are what made my recent family reunion so damn hysterical, confusing and rewarding. But let’s [...]

Brother, Can You Spare A Film/TV Role?

D.C. Douglas — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:36:44 +0000

“You know,” My dad said 15 years ago and with some import in his voice, “I’ve been watching that new medical show and I really think you should get a role on there as the brother of the Noah Wyle character.” I smiled at his “Studio Boss” instincts and said, “Good idea, Dad. I’ll go [...]

My Terrible Twos!

D.C. Douglas — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 23:17:47 +0000

The D.C. Douglas Blog is officially two years old! Now I get to write blog posts full of tantrums! But before I launch my blog poo at the wall, let’s take a misty-eyed look back at the last 12 months of posts… Last summer began with the premiere of the classic Titanic II where I [...]

Gidget, Nickelodeon & Ted Williams

D.C. Douglas — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 08:33:30 +0000

It always amazes me that people let me near children. Then I realize that most people may not have seen my 80′s Man video. Good thing. I like to work. But before I give you the Nickelodeon tour, let’s feast on some cheese (other than 80′s Man)! At the beginning of the year everyone in [...]

Love Letter To Eric Cotsen

D.C. Douglas — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 06:42:18 +0000

In 1990, after five smog-filled years in Los Angeles, I had already supported my acting aspiration by working as: • A host at Denny’s on Sunset Blvd (where the famous Rodney Bingenheimer would order the exact same thing every day and tip a dollar) • A cashier at Bagel Nosh of Beverly Hills (where a [...]

Another Bold & Beautiful Day…

D.C. Douglas — Fri, 27 May 2011 11:54:34 +0000

… Another paycheck. And I write that with much heartfelt appreciation. I may have never dreamed of recurring on a soap opera as a nameless minister fulfilling a utilitarian role when I was a kid, but I sensed getting work as an actor was going to be tough. Certainly everyone told me it would be. [...]

Video Games, Cartoons & Websites, Oh My?

We’re not in a recession anymore, Dorothy. (Yes, I call myself Dorothy when no one is around. No, I don’t have the shoes. Yet.) The tax twister of April has disappeared and little career-munchkins have started gathering ’round! Video Games “MotorStorm: Apocalypse” has finally been released! More a racing game than a story-based one, [...]

A Sarah Palin/Michele Bachmann Inspiration

D.C. Douglas — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 18:59:43 +0000

The Actor often tossed and turned at night. Sometimes from fruity martinis mixed with his middle-age acid-reflux, but usually from thoughts of death and the meaning of life. He found it difficult, in light of our sun’s inevitable demise, to see the point of it all. But then he would toss and turn to the [...]

Tim Curry Meets My Inner Child

D.C. Douglas — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 10:38:09 +0000

Today I turned into a twelve year old girl. My face went flush, my heart went all a pitter-patter and butterflies erupted in my empty stomach. Well, to be honest, I had two “lemon merengue” martinis sloshing around in there, but they weren’t the source of my exhilarated state. It was Tim Curry. Now, this [...]

The Groundhog Moves, Sails & Kicks Ass

D.C. Douglas — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 00:19:08 +0000

In the first five years of my career I had changed theatrical agents five times. My first one was a strange control freak who told me when to wash my car. The second one died during business hours and no one noticed for eight months. My third one spent more time on ecstasy than the [...]

Acting Lessons From A Wall

D.C. Douglas — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 12:01:37 +0000

I stared at the spot on the wall with all the focus and intensity of a young actor about to transcend his art. I had created and wallowed in my back story. I had sharpened my intentions until they cut my soul. I was about to burst onto the indy-action-film-direct-to-video scene… And I was gonna [...]

Digital Truth Distortion Reflux Syndrome

D.C. Douglas — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 23:25:59 +0000

Truth has always been good to me. Even when truth was harsh, I knew it was for my own good. When truth was buried, I’d dig it out. When truth was hiding, I’d seek it out. But then truth met the internet and everything went to shit. On Monday I answered some questions from a [...]
