Bio
Danz got his name when he was twelve, he started a blog called Dans News where he'll put actual news on it. Though when he wanted to start it was taken so he had to do Danz Newz. From then it stuck and he uses it everywhere.

Danz started getting into machinima when he got into the Grand Theft Auto game editor. He then started making The 360 Avatar, a series where Danz would voice-over his Xbox 360 Avatar talking. Danz then showed Machinima his work and they liked it and they gave him a spot.

Danz met the Creatures through Sp00n. Machinima put a description of one of Danz's videos in one of Sp00n's video. Danz contacted Machinima about it then contacted Sp00n about it. Sp00n and Danz then became friends after that. A short time after that, Sp00n introduced Danz to the Creatures, where Gassy and Danz became quick friends. He began doing gaming commentaries after meeting the Creatures and adopted what they did, having considered it before.

His personal life mostly involves bowling and watching movies. Danz has a brother, who is an indie film maker, who has made movies in the past, he and Danz are currently working on a movie called Desperate Measures. The movie is doing good, according to Danz, but there is some complications regarding the actors.

He is also known for his huge love for Batman, because of this he created a character named BatDanz which is Dan wearing a Batman mask and talking in a Batman-esque voice.
