Visa ''Morning in Manhattan'' Spot

This is the Visa spot I shot in 2007. It's called "Morning in Manhattan," and was shot right in the heart of NYC.

I really didn't know how big this one would get until people told me they saw it at movie theaters. I simply can't imagine seeing my head that big.

The spot was directed by Kinka Usher, who was the director on the original "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" commercials among other big spots. He also directed Mystery Men with Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, Greg Kinnear and William H. Macy.

You can see more of Kinka's really impressive body of work at this site.

The agency behind the whole thing was the excellent TBWA/Chiat/Day, and the spot was cast by the good people at Telsey + Company.


Fun Trivia:
The girl in the beginning at the coffee shop is J. Elaine Marcos, who was in Filmic Achievement with me. She's awesome. (View)

Tuscan Milk ''New Label'' Spot

This is the spot shot in 2007 for Tuscan Milk, celebrating the company's new label/logo.

Believe it or not, despite being crammed in that milk bottle all day, I had a lot of fun. The director, Christopher Bean, kept it fun and loose, and let me do some improv along the way (I ad-libbed the last line of the spot).

I also did a 15-second version of the spot and a radio version, both of which can be found on the Tuscan Dairy web site.

Both the TV and radio spots were written for MacGuffin Films by the very talented Jill Scherrer.

Gotta give credit to Barry Shapiro of Herman-Lipson Casting, who had the skilled eye necessary to find the right pair of legs to stick out the bottom of that suit. (View)

SpikeTV ''Maximum MLB'' Promo

This is the promo for SpikeTV's Maximum MLB, which was shot in 2005. The spot was shot at a Modell's in New Jersey, and because the store does actual business, we had to shoot overnight. (View)

Ford ''Shock Response Team - Break Room'' Spot

This is one of several "Shock Response Team" spots produced for Ford's Year-end Clearance in 2004. I got to fly to Atlanta and work with some very talented actors and crew. The spots were directed by the awesome Glen Owen for Comotion Films. The good folks at J. Walter Thompson brained up the campaign. Fun Trivia: Read it in story form here. (View)

Ford ''Shock Response Team - Cry'' Spot

This is one of several "Shock Response Team" spots produced for Ford's Year-end Clearance in 2004. I got to fly to Atlanta and work with some very talented actors and crew. The spots were directed by the awesome Glen Owen for Comotion Films. The good folks at J. Walter Thompson brained up the campaign. Fun Trivia: That dude in the boots can kill me with his ankle, and told fun stories about a friend of his in a biker gang. Really cool dude. (View)

Ford ''Shock Response Team - New Car Smell'' Spot

Fun Trivia: The actress who falls down in the spot was one of the first contestants eliminated from NBC's reality show Next Action Star, and yes, she did her own stunts. (View)

Ford ''Shock Response Team - Negotiator'' Spot

This is one of several "Shock Response Team" spots produced for Ford's Year-end Clearance in 2004. I got to fly to Atlanta and work with some very talented actors and crew.

Fun Trivia: You may recognize Kevin Sussman, the guy on top of the truck. He had supporting roles in Hitch, Little Black Book and Sweet Home Alabama. You may also recognize Craig Figueiredo, the other Shock Team member in the spot. He was in Jerry Seinfeld's Comedian, and was the cover model for the pick-up line books You're So Fine, I'd Drink a Tub of Your Bathwater and Baby, All Those Curves and Me With No Brakes. (View)

Beverly Hospital 2004 Spot

This is the commerical I did for Beverly Hospital that was produced in 2004. It was shot beautifully on a serene beach outside Boston with a very cool crew. Not too shabby, I say. The spot was directed by the very cool Theresa Wingert for TRIO Films. (View)

Sport Utility Dave

This is the long-awaited (well, sorta) follow-up to the A Dave At the Marriott video Pete and I produced.

This one was done as a demo for the BBC. (View)

Boston Market ''Big Bags'' Spot

This is the Boston Market commercial I shot in 2004. It was produced by Picture Park (the same company behind the BJ's Wholesale spots I did back in 2003) and was shot in -- where else? -- Boston, MA. Actually, truth be told, it was shot in Swampscott, but who's counting? (View)

Microsoft ''Great Moments'' Spot

This is the Microsoft Office commercial I did back in 2003. The entire group was a lot of fun to work with and was extremely talented to boot. Yes, that is me with the tongue, by the way. (View)

Wendy's ''Baseball'' Spot

Here's the Wendy's commercial I did in 2003. If you watched the World Series and didn't flip channels during the commercials, you probably saw this one. (View)

Scott Tissue ''Deserted Island'' Spot

This is the Scott Tissue commercial shot in Jamaica in 2004. Definitely a highlight of my career.

The other dude is Brian Ach, a very talented and funny guy. (View)

The JustUs League Video Open

This is the video open we used for the JustUs League, the sketch comedy troupe I co-founded.

It was shot by Pete, and the two of us edited it together. (View)

A Dave At The Marriott

This is a funny little video bit I recently did in honor of my friend Eliot's 30th Birthday. Eliot decided to throw a huge weekend- long party in NYC, and asked Pete the Loon to capture all of it on digital video. Much of it featured Eliot's friends saying nice things about him -- much deserved, I might add. When it came time for me to do my tribute to Eliot, I decided I should do more than just the standard tribute. It was totally done on-the-fly from the Marriott Marquis hotel (with some recent minor editing), and we had a blast doing it. (View)
