Dan Rose
(Performer)
Dan Rose (Charles Barbier) has donethis and that, here and there, time and again both on and off stage, andsometimes on television, mostly not. He has no allergies to dairy, nuts, orfictional characters with pointy ears. Dan went to school for this stuff, whichmay not be readily apparent, though rarely practices his craft anymore, whichshould be screamingly obvious to all. He has come to terms with the fact thathe will likely never get to play a character with pointy ears (outside theconfines of his small, chilly apartment) and his non-existent career is all thebetter for it. Despite the tone of this bio, Dan is comfortable with his lot inlife, thank you, all the same.
