BOOKING CHARLIE CHAPLIN
Dan new book, The Comedy of Charlie Chaplin: Artistry in Motion has been called "the most complete and beautifully written book on the comedy of Charlie Chaplin" and "an essential Chaplin book." A treasure trove of previously unpublished pictures and new revelations about the great comedian, this is a must-have for everyone who loves comedy.

STOP THE MUSIC!
The Nashville Symphony asked Dan to Stop the Music! He plays a policeman who threatens to arrests the orchestra because there have been complaints about the noise in the neighborhood. Can the conductor convince him that they have the right not to remain silent? As the story unfolds on a dark and stormy night there's crime, punishment, and a even Keystone Kops chase.
