Danny Roane: First Time Director

Danny Roane: First Time Director is a 2006 mockumentary about an actor (played by Andy Dick) directing his first film, which is based on the character's struggle with alcoholism and drug addiction.

In one scene, the director is being interviewed:


 * Danny Roane: I watched the, uh, Muppets Take Manhattan last night for inspiration. That movie, if you look closely, that movie is very hardcore with drug undertones.

While Danny is directing the scene...


 * Danny Roane: You might want to think of your character more like Kermit the Frog.

Interview...


 * Danny Roane: I mean, look at Kermit the Frog. He's green. He's skinny. That guy is a skinny little crack whore.

Directing the scene...


 * Danny Roane: And, of course, uh, your girlfriend, Miss Piggy, O.D.'d on some bad crank. ... Then you've got, uh, Gonzo and- and Fozzie Bear drinking it up over here, so you don't know what to do. Call 9-1-1. Drink with your Muppet friends. That's the moral dilemma.
