SO. MANY. BIRTHDAYS.

Seriously guys, couldn't you have spread out a few days so we could wish you happy birthday individually?  

I guess we'll just have to settle with giving you this instead. 

So here's to you Mandell Maughan, John Green, and Dave Chappelle.  Happy Birthday from MyDamnChannel!

"In response to the new Facebook guidelines I hereby declare that my copyright is attached to all of my personal details, illustrations, comics, paintings, professional photos and videos, etc. (as a result of the Berner Convention).

For commercial use of the above my written consent is needed at all times…"

Blah blah blah.  What is this junk everyone is posting to Facebook?  Oh yeah, really seems like a binding legal contract.  Really seems like this is a surefire way to not get your Facebook shit stolen and put into a movie or a play or something.  "What's that?  Spielberg used my status from three years ago as the basis of his new blockbuster movie!?  Damn it!"

Yeah, no one cares about any of your comics or paintings, bro.   So instead of posting that long, boring, probably ineffective statement to your wall, why not share the season finale of Status Kill?  It's more fun and once someone sees you've shared it they won't DARE try and steal ANY of your personal details.  Why, you ask?  Here are some reasons:

1) It shows that you have good taste.  Jesse Cowell's direction of the series, in my opinion, is simply masterful.  It's his complete vision, as he is also the creator and writer of the entire Status Kill series.  I love it when one man takes what is in his head and turns it into a reality.  

2) Because I'm in it!  I make a quick cameo as The Mad Tagger, who I had played in THIS episode of Status Kill earlier in the season.  I also share the scene with my good buddy Chip!

3) The special effects are so uber sweet it'll be a fabulous distraction to those attempting to steal your identity.  I know first hand that Chris Dimino spent a lot of time working on the special effects in Status Kill and they all came out amazing.  Seriously, you won't find better special effects than this on the entire interweb.  

4) The acting prowess of Ayinde Howell, who plays Denton Sparks, a bad ass who will surely kick the crap out of anybody who steals anything from your Facebook account…if you post this to your wall.

5) There are more reasons, but they're all encapsulated by this statement: STATUS KILL RULES.  Watch it.  You will not be disappointed.  Trust me.

Dan Grgas, thanks for sitting down with me today.

No problem.

You play the Mad Tagger in the newest episode of Status Kill. Where do you draw your inspiration from as an actor?

I draw my inspiration from life, Chris. It could be anything. A bird, a tree, a song. As long as there is vibrancy and some sense of immediacy present in what surrounds me I feel I can channel it down into my being, change it, and then channel it back out into my craft.

Do you yourself find irritation in being tagged in photos?

Not really. I like when I get tagged in a picture. Sometimes they can be a bit unflattering, but even then it's usually the sign of a good or funny time I had with friends.

What's it like working with filmmaker/friend Jesse Cowell?

Jesse is a great guy and I'm lucky to consider him a friend, but I had never worked with him and I'm happy to say he was awesome on set. I hate when you're acting and you're sitting around with your thumb up your ass not doing anything because the director is dicking around. But Jess had everything worked out and it was a real fun, effective, easy shoot - for me at least.

Please share with us your most embarrassing tagged photo and an explanation of why?

A picture of me with my front two teeth cracked in half. Why? I had too much to drink.

What's your favorite My Damn Channel series?

Other than Status Kill, you mean? Ha ha ha ha!! I am very partial to Horrible People. It's such a well-written spoof, and it's unapologetic in how dumb and crazy the comedy is in it. To do such a killer send-up I think the comedy's got to tap into that part of your brain that doesn't need to think in order to laugh at it. To laugh straight from the gut. I love that stuff. Poop! Shit! Dick! LOL.

How did you get so lucky to have a friend like Chris Donahue?

Chris owns about three t-shirts and one of them is of a band we both happen to like. I said, "that band rules" and he said, "I agree" and then we started to talk about other stuff and next thing you know I have a good friend in Chippy Diesel.

Thanks, Dan.

F--k off, Chip.

Trolls are officially the worst people on the Internet. So, how do you handle them? I’ll tell you how:

-Become one of them and infiltrate their secret lair. Okay, don’t actually become one of them, but be convincing enough to sneak in and destroy their community of trolls from the inside. Besides, everyone knows that acting like a dick is just a defense mechanism, for  people who are afraid no one will actually like them.

-Trolls only like dark places that are illuminated by dimly lit computer screens, so be sure to keep whereever you are well-lit! Christmas is just around the corner, so maybe you can string up some lights early? Trolls hate Christmas and the gift of giving.

-Be like a duck and let their comments roll off your back! Even some of the Internet's greatest people, like Daily Grace, get trolled once in a while, so don't let their negativity affect you.  

And remember: Never, ever, feed the trolls!!
