Summary

Daniel Franzese steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Damian, the gay dude from Mean Girls. Daniel is so much more than just “Damian” though. We chat about the Iconic “break out” role of Damian, why that character resonated and still resonates with people almost 20 years later, how it changed the lives of so many gay and “other” kids worldwide and just why, out of all the characters in this epic film, Damian is the one everyone can agree brings oh so much joy to the masses. Daniel chats about working with Lindsay Lohan, Tina Fey, Rachel McAdams, Amy Poehler, Amanda Seyfried and the rest of this brilliant cast and just what would a reboot look like today in 2022. In other news, Daniel’s brilliant “Italian Mom”, which has been killing it on You Tube and Cameos worldwide is about to make her stage debut this month. Ticks avail now. Finally, we chat about the current state of leading LGBTQ+ projects in Hollywood, being “out” as an actor today and just what is next for this powerhouse actor who will not be slowing down any time soon! @whatsupdanny @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TALKSPACE - www.talkspace.com ($100 Off Your First Month.
