Dan Fogler Is Totally Unabashed About Being A 'Fanboy'

Dan Fogler stopped by our studio to talk about his upcoming movie, Fanboys.

The movie is set in 1998 and centers on a group of Star Wars fanatics who are eagerly anticipating the release of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. Among this group is Linus, a cancer victim whose last wish is to see the film before his death. Thus, the friends decide to act on what they've been scheming to do since the fifth grade: break into Skywalker Ranch and steal an early print of the film. Along the way, they encounter William Shatner and get involved in roadblocking shenanigans that test their determination. Fogler plays the role of Linus friend, Hutch.

Fogler is most noted for his role as William Barfee in the original Broadway cast of the musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. He has garnered the Lortel, Outer Critics, Broadway World and Drama Desk Awards, along with the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical. He has recently appeared in Kung Fu Panda and Horton Hears a Who! He was born in Brooklyn, New York.

Fanboys hits theaters February 6.
