Dan Yeager is a remarkable and multi-talented actor, director, producer and writer, who has become very successful in the entertainment industry.
As a child, regardless of the financial situation of his family that did not give him the luxury of watching movies often, Dan was always drawn to movies and the creativity behind their production. He particularly had a flair for the science fiction and horror genre.
In his teenage years, an in-depth passion for creating movies was ignited in him after he watched the 1970 drama, The Boys In The Band. Dan went ahead to pursue this passion by getting a copy of the movie in its play version and studying it. This also led to his decision to chase an acting career.
He, therefore, became more determined and watched more movies as well as read books in other to fully comprehend the entertainment industry.
Before diving fully into the movie industry, he managed a cabinet shop which was not so successful. He eventually had to close it down and give his childhood dreams a shot.
Destiny then connected him with the producer, Carl Mazzacone, who played a significant role in bringing Dan into the limelight through his role in the film, Texas Chainsaw 3D.
