2012: Come Over To The Dark Side…

D.C. Douglas — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 03:19:58 +0000

What does Star Wars, angels and the GOP primaries have in common? Aside from really easy metaphors, it’s a lazy actor’s way of weaving video game clips and political commercials together in one post! First, the genuine dark side… Last year I had the fanboy pleasure of supplying about 15 generic voices to the expansive [...]

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 [...]

Why #OccupyWallStreet?

D.C. Douglas — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 02:13:59 +0000

UPDATE: Thanks for the amazing support my video has received! Special thanks to John Cusack, Roseanne Barr, Karoli, OneVoice2, MoveOn.org, Charles Gaba & Daily Kos and Lawrence O’Donnell (for airing a portion on The Last Word 10/11/11)! - - - - - - - Why #OccupyWallStreet? This is what I asked myself a week ago. But [...]

All-In With The GOP

D.C. Douglas — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 06:46:55 +0000

Last night I gambled away $350. Texas Hold-em. My love. My enemy. My disease. But all guilt is washed away when it’s for charity! And Zeus bless Joe Cipriano for hosting another lovely charity event for the Screen Actors Guild and their Don Lafontaine Voice Over lab. If there’s one thing I love more than [...]

A Tea Party Caucus Fracas

D.C. Douglas — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 01:51:40 +0000

The title almost sounds French so I must quickly apologize to any Tea Party patriots reading. I meant no disrespect. You guys certainly don’t surrender as easily as they do! A little history joke! (Too bad most Americans only remember them helping us out during our revolution… I think they sent crepes to Valley [...]

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 [...]

Andrew Breitbart Needs A Hug

D.C. Douglas — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 05:52:24 +0000

But all he’s gonna get out of me is a video. ;-) This blog and my FaceBook fan page have quite an eclectic mix of followers. Some know me from voice over, while others know me from my sporadic film or television work. There is a huge videogame contingent, too. But this post, my friends, is for [...]

You Are An Artist

D.C. Douglas — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 15:25:09 +0000

As a fry cook at several fast food restaurants while in high school, I prided myself on finding a groove within my duties. I became so quick and elegant in my dunking of the taco shells and filling of the cokes, that I thought myself a kind of dancer. When I used to be a [...]

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 [...]

A Political Voice Over Tweak

D.C. Douglas — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 10:20:05 +0000

I understand how serious the issues are with Governor Walker and the war on unions. I also understand how terrible addiction is — even for multi-millionaires. But sometimes things happen that cry out for a quick video spasm of creative OCD… The whole Charlie Sheen insanity seemed to align with the Gov Scott Walker insanity… [...]

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 [...]

2010: Mr. K Scratched An Itch, D.C. Douglas Found An Audience

D.C. Douglas — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 07:05:43 +0000

It was but a dandruff flake floating down onto the keyboard. It had been dislodged from its perch on the thickest and oiliest eyebrow hair by the furious typing of Mr. K. He was pouring all his a-tonal passion and hope for a quick spin around the intoxicating media news cycle onto the keyboard of [...]

Voice Over Guy Goes Sane After Jon Stewart Rally

D.C. Douglas — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 03:30:39 +0000

I didn’t think I would have a need or desire to write about (let alone work into a video) any more of my April Appletini Indiscretion™ (and the subsequent cyber outing, Fox News tarring and Blogosphere feathering). Really. I’m just fine with self-centered bragging about my random acting and voice over accomplishments. But with the [...]

It Takes A Real Man…

D.C. Douglas — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 05:30:13 +0000

It takes a real man to admit he’s a homosexual! Yup. That’s the phrase I yelled from my friend Terry G’s Datsun as we sped past a group of jocks from Ygnacio Valley High School. I believe Terry went quite flush and stopped the car. Apparently my new rallying cry was going to taint his [...]

Audition Blues Leads To Mockery

D.C. Douglas — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:03:50 +0000

The end of summer is always a slow time for most film/TV actors. For the ones where it’s not, we shun them for their success and beauty. Really, it’s an illness to be that pretty and successful. Anyway! It’s during this time that I like to dabble in something creative that has no profit potential [...]

Political Voice Overs Revisited

D.C. Douglas — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:30:15 +0000

Last September I wrote about why I perform voice over work for any political party that pays me. I noted that an anonymous voice over doesn’t really have sway upon the voter’s mind, and if it does, that voter may need to alter their antipsychotics dosage. However, that was all before the lovely Matt Kibbe [...]

Captain Of The Titanic?

D.C. Douglas — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 08:53:48 +0000

I’ll admit it (before anyone else can make the joke); I thought my career was going to suffer the fate of the Titanic for about five days back in April. (See this blog post for the hysterical details). Yes, I had left a silly message on an inane organization’s voicemail system. It wasn’t the first [...]

Inside Your Tube

D.C. Douglas — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 07:36:12 +0000

It ain’t pretty! Yes, life in the material plane can clog up your “soul tube” after awhile. Most of us will clean it out privately, with a good book, meditation, maybe even a vacation to the tropics. Unfortunately, this new-fangled invention called the Internet (a series of tubes, I’m told) is changing this ritual. Now, [...]
