Check out Royal Dano’s career compared to current and classic actors.  Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.

Today’s conversation between Cogerson and G. Vandross HoF18 at WBMS

Cogerson – Do you know you have requested a page on Royal Dano a few times?  You requested him a few days ago and then last night I was looking at some old photos on my phone and I found a picture of a Post-It  note from you requesting a page on him.  That was in May 2017.  

G. Vandross – So what are you waiting for? That seems to be more than enough time to put out a Royal Dano page.

Cogerson – I am not even sure who Royal Dano is? Is he the guy that looks like Gregory Peck?

G. Vandross – He looks nothing like Gregory Peck!

Cogerson – Then I have no idea who he is.  Cogerson looks up Royal Dano on his phone.  That is the guy that looks like Gregory Peck!

G. Vandross – You are crazy.  They look nothing alike. Nobody would think Gregory Peck and Royal Dano look alike.

Cogerson – I am going to have to do an UMR page on him  just to see what other movie fans think about this little debate.

      Hey Flora…your Royal/Greg vote is duly noted. Tally count: Cogerson 24, Steve 21 and you at 18. I am surprised that (a) I won this tally count and (b) that you got third place. I have seen all of your favorites and 5 of your “others”. The Trouble With Harry is far from being one of my favorite Hitchcock movies. Good stuff as always.

    You don’t know Royal Dano. Do you know his son Paul. Pau’s been in some pretty good films like Ruby Sparks with Zoe Kazan who is the mother of his child. He played Robert De Niro’s son in Being Flynn and Harrison Ford’s son in Cowboys &. Aliens. He played the younger version of Brian Wilson in Love and Mercy with John Cusack playing the older version. That was my best film of 2014.

    Daddy, good ole Royal is # 629 on the 2020 Oracle of Bacon list. He has been as high as # 155 back in 2000. These are the actors on the current list he has appeared with.

      Not thinking Paul Dano is Royal Dano’s son. Royal had two sons and neither is Paul.

      I think you’re right. All this time I assumed he was.

      Disregard paragraph one, I am wrong about any relationship between the two.

      Hey Dan
      1. Thanks as always for the comment, lists and visit.
      2. I am very aware of Paul Dano, but like another person mentioned Paul is not Royal’s son….I wonder if their family trees cross at some point?
      3. So Royal is in the Top 1000. That is pretty surprising. His movie career total is not that high for a character actor that worked so long…granted he appeared in lots of television movies and television shows.
      4. Number 155 at one point…another interesting fact.
      5. Looking at the first list….pretty epic…with Paul Fix leading the way with 6 movies with Royal.
      6. 32 Oscar winning stars is about average…I would have guessed higher…but I guess all those westerns kept him away from some Oscar winners.
      Good stuff as always.

    I have to agree with Cogerson. When I was wee one I actually thought they were related.
