Teaches at Actors Connection New York

In his job as a demo engineer with Intel Corporation, Dan Nainan toured the world with the company's senior executives, demonstrating the latest technology for audiences numbering into the thousands.

He has appeared on network television including Last Comic Standing, as well as in feature films and in commercials, including a "Get a Mac" commercial for Apple, as well as commercials for VMWare and Virgin Mobile. Dan also appeared on Billions, and he has also done commercial print. He also does voiceovers, including most recently for the Fox animated series Family Guy, and has done prank calls on radio stations nationwide as various characters including Bill Clinton.

Dan has performed for President Obama, President Trump, Hillary Clinton, Rudolph Giuliani, Bill de Blasio, Michael Bloomberg, Arianna Huffington and his favorite, Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak. He has performed in 28 countries on five continents including TED India, and he has visited 60 countries. He is also an angel investor, investing in tech companies, and he performed at the Bitcoin Foundation conference in 2013, where he introduced Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. He was paid in bitcoin.
