Dan Payne Interview
Q: Since the last time we spoke, Hallmark audiences only saw you briefly in Christmas Getaway. While I know you’ve worked on many other shows, your Hallmark work is always special. Though brief, what was it like working on that film?
Dan Payne: I love working for Hallmark! I think they have a fantastic product that delivers exactly what their amazing and supportive audience is looking for. Having said that, it was bittersweet to work on Christmas Getaway. I would have loved to be part of the whole film but I was grateful to be a part of the teaser. And I got the chance to meet and work with the beautiful and talented Bridget Regan!
Q: You were also on Izombie this past season. What was it like working on that show and what did you enjoy about your role?
Dan Payne: The iZombie set had a brilliant tone that included a mix of lots of laughter with hard work. I truly enjoyed the subtle comedic elements that show allows. There was a lot of tongue in cheek on and off camera. They were very welcoming, which I think is an absolute necessity if you want to make people feel comfortable and “play.” And it was pretty cool to be the prime suspect of that whodunit.
Q: You were a part of the finale of Once Upon A Time. What was special about being a part of this iconic show? I believe that episode was the directorial debut of Lana Parrilla. How did that make this episode even more special?
Dan Payne: I have to admit I was ecstatic to make it on that epic show before it ended! And I loved the character, Ivo. I got to play with the added element that he was blind. I was beyond grateful to have Lana there as she was a phenomenal actor’s director. She was brilliant at helping dig out little nuggets of gold in every scene. Such a blast! Lana is loved, not only by fans, but also the crew. She had all the support she could ask for and she was amazing. It was an honour to be directed by her in her debut.
Q: I know you are also on Aliens Ate My Homework. What did you enjoy about that movie and what can you tell us about your character?
Dan Payne: It started with the two fantastic producers, Roger {Lay Jr.} and Eric {Carnagey}. They set the tone and were fearless, relentless, and unstoppable forces. They made the set fun and family-like. They were there helping more than any other producers I’ve known. On top of that, I got to work with my very talented friend, Alex Zahara, who played a fellow alien crew member. My character is the loud-mouthed, crazy one who thinks he knows more than he does. It was such a ridiculously fun character to bring to life…and it made up for the five hours of make up every morning to transform into him physically.
Q: Any other upcoming/current works you can tell us about?
Dan Payne: I recently wrapped on Descendants 3: The Big Sleep. I don’t have to tell you how that experience was. The first two movies show you! It’s colourful, fantastical, grandiose and delivers the Disney magic on an even larger scale in this third installment. Happy that the “parent” made it back in this third one! Those lead kids are triple threat amazing talents – singing, dancing, acting. It was quite the spectacle to watch with Kenny Ortega at the helm once again. The choreography Jamal {Sims} brought to this movie is mind-blowing! Can’t wait for fans to see it.
Q: Does anyone else in your family have acting/filmmaking aspirations?
Dan Payne: My kids haven’t asked to do any acting yet. And I really want to wait and see if it’s something they ask and want to do rather than be influenced. They know I love my job, so we’ll see! I will support them in whatever they choose; I just want it to be their choice! I do remember when I was younger that my brother and I had dreams of making action movies together. There’s still time!!!
Q: Any updates on any potential writing/producing/directing projects you may want to do?
Dan Payne: I am currently working with two friends, Carey {Dickson} and Ben {Graham}, and we are looking to produce movies together. The dream there is to make movies we want to make/share stories we want to tell and do it with friends! So if there’s anyone out there who wants to write a check and be an executive producer – Let me know! Lol!
Q: If someone were to decide to make the story of your life, whom would you like to have play you? Is there anyone famous you’d love to play in a biopic?
Dan Payne: That’s a really cool question! ….and I have no idea!!! I would be blown away to sit in an audition room and see what actors would bring. That would be a pretty surreal experience!!!
Q: Are there any charities/causes you actively support or feel strongly about?
Dan Payne: BC Children’s Hospital has always had a place in my heart. My oldest fell ill five days after he was born during the craziest snowy winter I can remember in 2008. We spent a week there with our firstborn plugged into machines. It was scary. Not as scary as many, many other people have had to endure, but the way the staff helped and cared for us as a family was above and beyond and I’ll never forget it.
Q: If you and your family were able to go anywhere on vacation for a week, where would you go and why?
Dan Payne: I have always wanted to take my family to Thailand or the Maldives and stay in the resorts that have the individual mini villas on the water. They have little bridge walkways to get to them or you can take the outrigger canoe! I love tropical beaches and sand! But any week with my family on vacation anywhere sounds pretty awesome!
