Later, while attending William Paterson University, Damian religiously filmed all activities in his dorm apartment, setting the stage for "reality" type shows, which would take the country by storm during the next millennium. However, his passion for film and acting temporarily stalled as he settled for a “real job” in sales, telemarketing and professional fundraising for the better part of the next decade.

Suddenly, as if awakened by those long-lost images from movies he enjoyed while growing up, Damian's filmmaker psychosis kicked back into gear in 2001. He began to host Super Bowl parties and created DVD invitations for them which were, in most cases, more entertaining than the parties themselves. He then took on theater acting, and within 18 months appeared on stage in The Man Who Came to Dinner, Eat Your Heart Out, Annie Get Your Gun, The Music Man, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Over the River and Through the Woods, which marked his first leading role. He complimented this main stage work with monthly performances in children's theater, which provided a consistent vehicle to entertain the masses. In addition, Damian started a cutting-edge video production company (COFI, or Caffeine Overdose Films, Inc.) and began to produce several short films during this time, culminating with the award-winning short film True Identity which was included among the “Best of Philly” at the Philadelphia Film Festival 2004.

As if that wasn't enough, Damian also began to somehow find his way onto television screens across the country. He was a contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, his audition tape for the popular Wild On series on the E! network was actually broadcast during an episode, and most recently was cast in NBC's enormously popular reality series Average Joe IV, as a superstar hunk rock star underwear model who goes undercover and pretends to be one of eighteen weird, nerdy geeks who live in a house together. Ok, ok, so he didn't really have to pretend to be a weirdo, but he still vehemently maintains that he had more going for him than those 17 other nerdy guys and if that silly model chick can't recognize greatness when she sees it, then who needs her anyway, right? Just kidding, (name withheld). You rock!

Doors have finally begun to open up for Damian as more and more people are becoming exposed to his unique combination of writing, filmmaking, acting, and offbeat comedic broadcasting skills. Yes, the offers are just flying in and it seems like everyone simply has to have a piece of Damian nowadays (everyone except for hot, single women, that is). What's next? These are the exciting projects that he's currently mulling over:

Damian has been offered a key role in an independent student film about a grandmother who travels to Europe to learn about her ancestors. Damian’s character will be GROCERY BAGGER #3 and although he has no dialogue, he knows in his heart that this is the kind of role any actor would kill for.

A regional medicated acne pad company has offered Damian a part in a new string of commercials where a super-hero medicated pad follows teenagers around to keep their faces free from dirt. Damian will play the part of the acne-pad’s arch nemesis, PIMPLE PIMP, who is covered in grease and chocolate and repeatedly tries to rub up against the innocent children. While at a junior-high school performing “in costume” research for his character, Damian was erroneously arrested and now must register with authorities whenever he leaves the city limits. That’s dedication!

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Yes, it’s official.  Damian has been courted by Playgirl Magazine to appear in a nude layout entitled “Average Hunks”. While the folks at Playgirl are enthusiastic about the photo shoot, the offer is contingent upon Damian undergoing some minor male enhancement surgery. It’s nothing, really. Lots of men get it done now. He will of course have to wear button-fly jeans instead of zipper ones from now on, but that’s it, really. Same old Damian. Honest.
