“[Dan Truman] showed an uncanny ability to nail the comic sensibility of the story, which involved simultaneously conveying humor and pathos.  Great comic instincts, through which real humanity shone.”

author of  “Sea Oak” and the Man Booker Prize winning novel LINCOLN IN THE BARDO

ABOUT DAN TRUMAN


I grew up in a small town in Connecticut, where I drank root beer and savored the smell of old comic books in between walks in the woods as leaves crunched under my feet. I play people with a different point of view, playing by a different set of rules, sometimes vulnerable, often enthusiastic about the wrong things. I’ve played a lot of things, but where I can best contribute to your team is playing someone struggling or wrestling with an ethical or moral dilemma – as embodied in MICHAEL CLAYTON – Tom Wilkinson, THE WOODSMAN – Kevin Bacon, and HOUSE OF CARDS – Corey Stoll. Thanks for stopping by and watching my reel.   I can’t wait to add some real character to your next project.
