Dan Milano(I)
- Actor
- Writer
- Producer
From Northport, Long Island. Attended New York University's Tisch
School of the Arts and SUNY Buffalo's summer arts program. First
industry job was co-creating a series of shorts for the Independent
Film Channel (IFC) based on "Greg the Bunny," a puppet character Milano
also performs.
Based on the main character from their public access series called
"Junktape," Milano and friends took "Greg The Bunny" to 20th Century
FOX as a 13-Episode prime-time series, produced by Neil Moritz and run
by Steve Levitan. Milano exec-produced, wrote and performed on the
series as characters "Greg the Bunny" and "Warren the Ape," alongside
co-stars Sarah Silverman, Seth Green and Eugene Levy.
The relationship with Seth Green led to Milano's involvement as a
writer and voice actor on "Robot Chicken," "Titan Maximum" and "Star
Wars: Detours." Meanwhile Milano and then-writing partner sold a spec
feature to Laura Ziskin and Sony Pictures, called "Me & My Monster."
Developed with effects wizard Stan Winston, the movie was in
development with such directors as Neil Jordan, McG and Jon Favreau
(the latter having also appeared on an IFC Greg the Bunny Reunion
Special.)
After the Fox series was canceled, "Greg" returned to IFC and
eventually the spin off series, "Warren the Ape" was created for MTV
Networks. This 12-episode "reality show" about Warren's fallout in the
post-Fox years co-starred Josh Sussman and Dr. Drew Pinsky.
Milano's film career had him working with his partner on development
assignments for The Henson Company, Flower Films, The Donner's Company
and more. Milano's solo credit on "Short Circuit" was written for
producer of the original film David Foster and Dimension's Bob
Weinstein.
Milano has sold pilots including "The Spaces," "Dad Monster Hunter (aka
Shadowchasers)" and worked on shows such as "Gravity Falls" (writer)
"Crash & Bernstein" (Director,) and "Star Wars: Detours."
(Writer/Actor)
Milano was never trained in puppetry but was obsessed with the art form
as a child and built a talent for it. He has focused primarily on
writing, developing for features and television but does occasionally
work as a voice actor.
In 2012 and 2013 Milano began a collaboration with "Fanboy and Chum
Chum" creator Eric Robles on several projects for Nickelodeon TV,
including "Monkey Quest," "The Cornies" and "8 Bit and High Five."
In 2013 Milano was brought on staff to take part in Dreamworks
Animation's historic content partnership with Netflix for the
development of animated series' based on the company's library of
current and future titles.
