Danny has dropped everything countless times to come and speak to our students about the Film Industry. He speaks about years of experience of stunt work, acting and producing, overcoming personal and professional obstacles, and about being a well-rounded person. His calm, kind and no-nonsense demeanor enables him to connect with all types of students: they trust and respect him and they cannot wait for him to return.
Not only does he work hands on with our students, he gives our East Side students an open invitation to use his ranch, to use his horses, his ghost town and any of his properties to use as a filming location for many of our film shoots. He has given many job opportunities for so many of our students. Danny has had our students on his movie sets and provides them with work as background actors. He invites us every year to his Day At the Ranch in August, where he puts on the most entertaining and amazing show that even my own children (who go every year) do not tire of. Danny does not hesitate to introduce our students to other professionals in the Industry and mentors them on how to network.
Danny is a class act. He is one of the most genuine and generous people and we are so grateful for what he does for the students at Templeton and many other young people. He is a true gentleman and I am privileged to call him my friend.
Sincerely Yours,
