Seven years ago I was working as a wardrobe assistant in the film "The First of May" while attending Film School. During the production I met many interesting people as well as known and unknown actors. One of these unknown actors was a little boy from Marietta, GA named Dan Byrd. "Danny boy", as I used to call him, played the lead role for the movie and proved to have great acting skills. He also possessed a such a sweet and very humble spirit. I saw him last at the premiere of "The First of May" back in 1998. In the years that followed, I heard that he had moved to LA and landed a recurring role in the TV show "Any Day Now". I was so happy for him. But you can imagine my surprise when I searched for him on IMDB.com and learned that he was making a movie with Hilary Duff! This past Friday I had the opportunity to watch him again in "A Cinderella Story"...I almost cried...he's too cute! I know it might sound silly but I grew so fond of him when we worked together in 1997 and I always knew inside of me that he had what it takes to be in Hollywood movies. I'm so glad that he's making it after all these years...I'm sure this is only just the beginning. (^_^) Good luck to Danny!!! Many many more successes and blessings!
