| Daniel is best known as "Darryl" from the 1988 sci-fi cult classic THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING. The sequel to Wes Craven's original film finds the DC Comics superhero again battling the evil Dr. Arcane (Louis Jourdan) and vying for the affection of Arcane's stepdaughter Abigail (Heather Locklear). Darryl and his friend Omar constantly find themselves in trouble. Luckily, Swampy has a tendency of saving the day! From there, Daniel did several television appearances (including IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT and the critically acclaimed I'LL FLY AWAY) before finding himself in the 2000 Dreamworks comedy ROAD TRIP opposite comedy stars Tom Green and Ethan Suplee. More recently, he has become quite prolific in the realm of independent horror and has worked with many of the genre greats. Recent co-stars include Ari Lehman, John Dugan, James Hampton, Tiffany Shepis, Robert Z'Dar, Robert Englund, and Danielle Harris. In 2012, Daniel and business partner Jim O'Rear formed Deviant Pictures. Their inaugural project, THE HOSPITAL, is currently touring the festival circuit and is shocking and sickening audiences worldwide. A controversial film from the beginning, THE HOSPITAL has been rocking audiences with its visceral content and taboo subject matter. Their next project, comedy-horror FAT CHANCE, is currently in pre-production with plans of filming in the early 2013. FAT CHANCE was written by Daniel and will be co-directed by Daniel and Jim. Daniel, Jim, James Hampton (TEEN WOLF, SLING BLADE), John Dugan (THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE), Scott Tepperman (SyFy Channel's GHOST HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL), and G. Larry Butler (FIST OF THE NORTH STAR) will star. 3/18/2013 THE HOSPITAL will have its international premiere at Movie Days / The Dark Zone in Dortmund, Germany on March 22, 2013. The North American premiere will be at Alabama Phoenix Festival in Birmingham, Alabama on May 25, 2013. FAT CHANCE is currently in the casting and location scouting phase. We should have official filming dates soon! Appearances are still being booked for the second half of the year. If you are interested in having Daniel host a showing of THE HOSPITAL for your event or film festival, please shoot an e-mail to det@danielemerytaylor.com. Previously available only at Best Buy, the Blu-ray edition of ROAD TRIP is now available at retailers worldwide! |
