PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
From the wildly creative mind of Andy Dick (TV’s “Less Then Perfect”) comes an untamed and hilarious new mockumentary Danny Roane: First Time Director. Featuring an all-star cast that includes James Van Der Beek (The Rules of Attraction), Maura Tierney (TV’s “News Radio”), Kate Flannery (TV’s “The Office”), Michael Hitchcock (Waiting for Guffman) plus many other surprise appearances, the film is an unapologetic, politically incorrect, balls-out comedy about independent filmmaking.

After his drunken antics ruin his acting career, Danny Roane (Dick) decides to stage a comeback by sobering up and directing his own movie. Everything goes as planned until Roane suddenly falls back to his partying lifestyle while trying to finish his film about drug and alcohol abuse. Off the wagon and under pressure, Roane spirals out of control while his movie – and his career – sinks to new and unexpected lows. Written and directed by Dick, Danny Roane: First Time Director originally aired on Comedy Central in August 2007.
