Dan Fogler continues to fill up his production
slate up to 2008 with a new comedy from Dimension. Wait a second! Who the
hell is this guy?
Dan Fogler for The Golden Tux
Though Hollywood could barely make the claim that Dan Fogler exists, the
actor has recently been making deals left and right with his latest acting
as the icing on the cake. Not only has Dimension tapped scribes Jay Lavender
and Jeremy Garelick to make their feature directing debut on The
Golden Tux, the film will be a starring vehicle for none other
than Dan Fogler.
But who is Dan Fogler?
According to Variety,
Fogler won a Tony for "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,"
and was recently featured as a supporting actor in the comedy School
for Scoundrels.
Dimension fell in love with the upcoming actor and soon found a new opportunity
for him in The Golden Tux.
Fogler will play a charismatic guy who makes his
living as a professional best man. He is hired by a lonely guy to make his
wedding day one to remember.
Despite his relative anonymity, several studios have inked him to pic deals.
He toplines the Spyglass/Rogue Pictures comedy Balls of Fury
as a ping-pong-playing spy; stars in Fanboys for the Weinstein
Co.; co-stars with Dane Cook and Jessica Alba in the Lionsgate comedy Good
Luck Chuck; then follows by playing a young Alfred Hitchcock in
the Chase Palmer-directed The Number Thirteen before starting
The Golden Tux.
Jay Lavender and Jeremy Garelick have been living rich ever since Vince
Vaughn tapped the writers to draft his idea for The
Break-Up, which Universal Pictures eventually bought. After
the picture became a hit, Lavender and Garelick signed a deal worth between
$2 million and $3 million for two pitches they will write for Universal
and producers Scott Stuber and Mary Parent.
