An all-star cast of celebrity comedians share the screen with 18 true-to-life, photo-real dinosaurs in the new live-action, CGI adventure series “DINO DAN” (26 x 30’) that stars Jason Spevack (Fever Pitch; Sunshine Cleaning) as Dan Henderson. Dan – nicknamed “Dino Dan” by his friends – is an ordinary 10-year old boy with an extraordinary obsession: he eats, sleeps and breathes dinosaurs. A typical day for Dan isn’t complete unless he’s racing a T-Rex on his school track, finding a Pterodactylus in his attic or getting a baby Brachiosaurus back to its mom. In “Dino Dan,” you don’t need to imagine dinosaurs - because they’re everywhere! But while Dino Dan is an expert in all things dinosaurs, he also specializes in getting his motley crew of classmates and teachers pulled into his larger-than-life adventures. Several celebrities including Andrea Martin, Mark McKinney, Kevin McDonald, Sean Cullen, Jayne Eastwood and Jon Dore make guest appearances in the series.
