   Dan McGowan's Comedian Bio
BioDan McGowan is... a comic, actor, voice-over talent, writer, song writer, music composer, church musician, husband, father, dog owner, friend to most, enemy to few, non-smoker, occasional drinker, not into karate, daily walker, owner of a receding hairline, non-doctor.
Websitedanmcgowan.com
InfluencesJonahtan Winters, Allen Sherman, Brian Regan, Don Rickles... to name just a few...
MembersI am an active member of SAG (Screen Actors Guild), ASCAP (the music composers society) and, the Llama Love Club that meets semi-regulgarly when the wind is just right...
TV ShowsCommericals (McDonald's, Toyota, Chevy, Qwest, FirstBank, etc), as well as print and billboard ads. I've also been on a few game shows including the Gong Show (twice), Scrabble, Dream House and Sweethearts (with my wife). Most recently, I was ALMOST on Last Comic Standing Season 5, and I was ALMOST selected as the New Maytag Man. Maybe next year I will ALMOST be on The Tonight Show and ALMOST have my own sitcom... I can dream, can't I?
FilmsYou've never seen me in the films I have done - training films for corporations mainly - where I'm "the boss" or "the controling manager" or "wacky neighbor" - that sort of thing...
AlbumsI am a songwriter and music composer - so my songs have appeared on many video and audio projects in the Christian marketplace. I also have composed music for training films, videos, radio, tv commercials and more.

    Dan McGowan's Interests
Generalmovies, music, mayhem!
Musici have quite an eclectic taste in music - love just about every style... but my favorites are jazz from the 20's, rock from the 60's and the early Christian music that came out of the Jesus Movement of the late 60's and early 70's... I also like most of the music I have composed or songs I have written, but since you can't get them on i-tunes, why mention them...
MoviesButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid used to be my all-time favorite film and it still ranks up there pretty high... however, Shawshank Redemption has taken the coveted first slot in recent years. I also really enjoy many classic comedies such as Odd Couple, MASH (the movie), just about everything Christopher Guest does and some of the early Woody Allen stuff. I'm also a sucker for some of those heart-wrenching teen movies like Breakfast Club and 16 Candles...
TelevisionIn no particular order, just how they fly into my head - - Seinfeld, Dick Van Dyke, I Love Lucy, Cheers, Frasier, Early Martin and Lewis Comedy House stuff, Carson, Letterman, Leno, Studio 60, ER, St. Elsewhere, Gidget, Gilligan's Island, My Favorite Martian, Star Trek... and all those cool commercials!
BooksI think The Bible has everything we need for living - but there are other fine books too... though I'm not a big reader... I've enjoyed SciFi books - such as Martian Chronicles, Stranger in a Strange Land - and also I really enjoyed To Kill A Mockinbird and Johnny Tremaine... hate just about all things Shakespeare...
HeroesJust about anyone who stands up to the pressures of those around them trying to make them veer from their course... And Bob Hope.

Free MySpace Layouts
This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Born in Reno, Nevada. Parents were nightclub entertainers. Moved to LA when I was a kid. Moved to Denver when I was a kid in an adult's body. Love all sorts of comedy & entertainment. Have a passion to enjoy life and bring joy into people's lives. No, really. I'm a loyal friend and a terrible enemy. I like Monopoly. And bowling, and stuff...
Who I'd like to meet:
There are many I'd like to meet - the list is too long... but the short list includes, Brian Regan (comedian), Dick Van Dyke (actor), Paul McCartney (musician), and anyone who is really named Hortence. I'd also like to meet myself about 25 years ago and make a few suggestions... of coures, knowing me, I wouldn't have listened anyway...
