His wife
NOT A REAL REVIEW
He talks to me exactly the way Paul Rudd talks to his wife in Wanderlust. I have asked him to stop. He has not stopped. He does not intend to. Three stars, and I did marry him.

Casting Director, Los Angeles
NOT A REAL REVIEW
Brought him in for a straight dramatic read. He did it, it was good, and then he improvised one line at the end that we ended up using. Warm without being soft, and funny without asking you to notice.

Someone's aunt, a bar mitzvah, 1998
NOT A REAL REVIEW
Got the grandparents onto the dance floor, which nobody had managed in four hours. The four of them called themselves The Four Dreidels. I did not know he was an actor. I assumed he worked there.
Vibe purchased: whatever was happening at table nine

Item description undersells the singing. I had him down for the funny one. He sight-read the harmony. Update the listing.

Questions & answers
Answered by the seller, who is also the product.
Is this a real website?
Yes. Enough people said it out loud that buying the domain felt right. Every credit on this page is real. Every review is not.
You also have a Jon Bernthal website. Which one is it?
Both, which is the actual problem. I get told I look like Jon Bernthal and I get told I sound like Paul Rudd, and those are two very different notes about the same face. So there are two websites. It is a strange thing to have built, and I regret almost none of it.
What's the bar mitzvah thing?
Paul Rudd worked bar and bat mitzvahs as a DJ and emcee in the early nineties, in a yellow tuxedo jacket, before anyone knew who he was. I worked them too. I started a group called The Four Dreidels and sang at every event we played. It is the only line on our résumés that matches, and I think about it more than is reasonable.
Does Paul Rudd know about this?
No. If he ever finds out, I'd like the record to show that this page is affectionate. He is a gifted comic actor and the joke here is at my expense. Paul, if you're reading this: I also know that Glenn Miller gets the grandparents up.
Do you actually get cast in comedy?
Yes. I took classes at The Groundlings for several years, and The Studio and I Think You Should Leave are both real and both recent. Then I go do a drama and confuse everyone. See danieltatar.com for the actual resume.
What is the return policy?
There isn't one. You're going to be fine.
Okay, seriously
I get the laugh, then play the next scene straight.
I'm Daniel Tatar, an actor and singer. I trained at The Groundlings for several years. Recent comedy includes The Studio on Apple TV+ and I Think You Should Leave on Netflix. I've also been on Chicago Med, Euphoria, This Is Us, and Grey's Anatomy. I premiered a musical at Steppenwolf, sang Carnegie Hall, and played the Hollywood Bowl.
Comedy people often can't hold a dramatic scene, and dramatic people usually reach for the joke too hard. I do both, and I can sing either one. Short list, and I'm free Thursday.
