I had a fantastic time auditioning in front of Millie Tom for the upcoming TV Series, Happy Town. It is a pilot episode for a new show ABC Network is looking to get off the ground. The audition went very smoothly, no regrets, whatever the outcome. It’s up the the acting gods now. Good luck to me.

[ANDREW HAPLIN] Legal 18 to play 17, handsome, he is John Haplin’s (Dean Winters) son, one of the popular kids at school. We later learn he’s got a Romeo and Juliet type thing going on with pretty young Georgia (Sarah Gadon), a girl who’s clearly from the other side of the tracks. However, he’s very much in love with her, angry that he can’t be more forthcoming about his girlfriend…SERIES REGULAR
Today was the last day on set for the film Chaos For Hire, directed by Dan Tahmizian. It is a Dark Comedy. I played one of the principal roles, Jevan. Jevan is recently off his medication and is what others call unstable. He loves B-movies and when he gets the opportunity to be part of a hit he jumps on it to do something like in the movies. He has a hidden agenda.
The story is about two amateur hitmen, Lee and Booker, are in need of money and take a “no problems” job from Lee’s cousin Jevan. The mark is a mysterious woman and the man who wants her killed is Bill, just another white collar. The job is supposed to be simple but when Lee and Booker walk into a room with 7 men, they realize they have a big problem.
The shooting days were tons of fun! Worked with a bunch of great actors, crew and the director was on the ball. Always a pleasure doing top-notch projects with Ryerson students. They are the next generation of up and coming filmmakers.
The film will be screened in late April at Rainbow Cinemas. I will be advertising the event once the dates are made official! So, come on out and support young talent at it’s best!
I have acquired the link to my live performance at the National Film Board for the feature film script, Dressed In Black Flag. The event was moderated by Tony Award nominee, Scott Wentworth, who provided great insight and feedback for the scenes presented. I had a lot of fun playing the lead characters, Captain Collins and Governor Rogers. Captain Collins appears in the beginning/middle sections and Governor Rogers appears near the end. I also met a lot of great actors at the read through and did some networking in the process.

A Romantic Comedy in which 2 guys fall for a girl who is committed to 6 other people.
It is the first feature film in history to be financed on line by the public.
I am currently an assistant producer on the feature film after purchasing 1 frame for $10, the price of a movie ticket! With that purchase I have the right to advertise my picture, e-mail & website: My Personal Frame.
It’s a great promotional tool to take advantage of due to the project’s popularity for their creative fund raising approach. Auditions are being held through audition/demo reels on their YouTube Group. I will be sending in my demo reel and perhaps another audition piece on top of that, if it’s allowed. The casting takes place mid-March, 2009.
I will be performing a read through of the feature film, Dressed in Black Flag, on February 27th, 2009 @ 7:00pm. I am performing the lead role of Captain Collins. The performance will take place at the National Film Board on 150 John Street in Toronto; View Map.

SYNOPSIS
The true life story of the rise, capture and trial of Anne Bonny and Mary Read; two women who rejected the shackles of 1720 society to become pirates on the high seas.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
(Lead) Captain Collins Gender: Male Age: 20’s
twenties, timid, insecure. His fear betrays his rank.
I recently landed the lead role of Paul, the Devil, in an upcoming independent film called Heaven vs Hell, directed by Rick Jordan. The film is about hell deciding it’s time for the earth to end and heaven has to stop it. It’s a superhero film but using these two elements.
Rick is a talented director, actor, producer and singer. He currently has a short horror film named, I See You, in the top 20 at the Canada International Film Festival and is up for awards. He was also one of the singers on Canadian Idol. Check his website video, quite amazing.
It looks like all the big movie stars are doing superhero roles nowadays. I’ve always wanted to play one too! I will be shooting fire from my hands after all the special effects are put in. Should be a really fun role to play!
Daniel Reininghaus will be attending:
THE ACTORS’ SYPMOSIUM (December 6-7, 2008)
ABOUT THE ACTORS’ SYMPOSIUM
The Actors’ Symposium was born from the observation of its founders that, while gaining an education in the arts, most of the emerging actors in Canada haven’t been taught practical knowledge and applicable skills to succeed in a highly competitive business.
The two day, Actors’ Symposium will educate established and aspiring artists in their pursuit of a career in the exciting world of the performing arts.
INTRODUCING ARTISTS TO PROFESSIONALS
The unique congress of artists and professionals provides a forum for creative discussion and an opportunity to exercise and showcase the next tier of great performing artists in our nation.
OUR GOAL
The main objective of T.A.S. (The Actors’ Symposium) is to provide guidance and educate emerging and aspiring actors while introducing them to some of the key players within the industry.
Welcome to the Daniel Reininghaus Official Acting Site! I’m very proud of this accomplishment. This blog area will be used as my “acting diary” to reveal my progress in the acting world and as a means of communicating with future fans, mom and pop don’t count. I now have a great promotional/marketing tool that I can utilize in my quest for fortune and fame. I constructed a sleek and sexy business card as well, which gave me the inspiration for the sites overall design.
The card was printed with rounded corners and on a matte laminated paper stock. I received a FedEx package of 300 cards today from my Chinese friends all the way from Hong Kong. Xie xie ni! Here is a web image of my acting business card that you can check out but seeing and touching it in person is even more satisfying.
