The many faces of Dan...

Happy Days Episode #146 —
Fonzie's cousin, Stan (me), makes his first appearance on the show. Writers decided to try and start a little fling between the 21 year old Stan and Ritchie's 16 year old sister, Jonie. In the picture to the right, Stan is giving Ritchie the 'Hey it's okay that I banged your sister and gave photos to my friends' face. Ralph Mouth and Potsy are seen in the background, waiting for good ol' Ritchie to get his ass kicked for opening his big mouth. Writers found a negative reaction to the sexual innuendos brought into the show by Stan. Stan remains a cult hero amongst true die hard Happy Days fans.

 
Diff'rent Strokes —
During the final season of the show, Todd Bridges needed to take a leave of absence from the show due to excessive drug useage and need for rehabilitation. Needing a new 'Willis' character, producers set out to find a look a like a soon as possible due to taping starting in only a couple of day. They decided that I would make the perfect hip new Willis. The producers of the show did not think that a tall white kid would pose any problems taking over for Bridges. The show ended up taping 8 more episodes which never appeared on public television due to broadcasters frowning upon the substitute. All tapes were ordered to be destroyed so that the show would remain reputable. The only remaing piece of evidence is this picture with me second from left.

 
Three's Company — Season 4
The original idea of Season 4 was to kick Jack Tripper's (John Ritter) lame ass off the show and allow the newly introduced Stan Brunfey (from the last episode of episode 3) to take over Jack's place in the apartment. The new trio would introduce all sorts of new drama which was not very often included in normal primetime sitcoms: sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Chrissy and Janet decided that it would be much more fun to allow Stan to move in considering he was much more macho than Jack. The producers decided that it was time to not have such a meek character as the lead, but rather a strong, manly, womanist to take control of the situation. Janet and Chrissy were to quickly fall to their knees and commit every act demanded of Stan. Censors boards told producers that if this was the case, the show would not air. The new theme song would have been changed to reflect something like, 'don't come knocking on our door.'
