Daniel McVicar (born June 17, 1958 in Independence, Missouri) is an actor , director and writer. He is known for his role as Clarke Garrison on The Bold and the Beautiful, from The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, where he is Craig’s nemesis at CBS Television City. He has also involved in new media with his site LateNiteMash.com [1] and The McVlog[2].
He played Rock Hudson in Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor Story.
He starred opposite Ben Gazzara in two projects, the television miniseries Woman on the Run where he worked opposite screen legend Gina Lollobrigida, and A Kiss in the Dark with Garazza and Patricia Millardet, as well as starring in Under the Sky for filmmaker Angelo Antonucci.
Other international projects followed including his most challenging, The Fourth Planet, directed by award winning Russian filmmaker Dimitris Astrakhan. Although Daniel starred as American Astronaut Sam Straiton, the role called for him to speak entirely in Russian, which he had to learn while shooting on location in St. Petersberg.
He has earned the nickname “The Ambassador” for his work promoting The Bold and the Beautiful, the most watched serial in the world. His visits have included press tours throughout Western Europe along with Bulgaria, Poland, Estonia, Russia, Albania, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Israel, Namibia, and many parts of Asia.
In one of his appearances on Craig Ferguson’s The Late Late Show, Tom Arnold kidnaps Daniel and attempts to impersonate him. [3]
A member of Mensa, he is quick at picking up new languages and has learned dialogue in Russian and Italian for films.
During promotional visits for film and TV projects, Daniel often learns a few sentences in the local languages, giving some opening remarks at the Cairo Film Festival in Arabic, reciting an Albanian poem in Tirana, and doing live sketch comedy in Italian when in Italy.
Daniel started The McVlog[4]a video blog in July of 2006. It quickly became well regarded and he hosted the first annual Vloggies Nov. 4, 2006.
His work in the new media has expanded to "The Late Nite Mash"[5]an online show and creative community that has featured interviews with Andy Garcia, music mashups with The Late Nite Mash musical director Joey Altruda and legendary Saxman Plas Johnson[6], integrated with community generated content from animators, vloggers and artists. Noteworthy episodes include a hangover remedy with French Maid Fifi and Freshtopia, and a discussion of the taser incident at UCLA with Mash experts Mistress Evolin and Mistress Abigail.
