D. B. Sweeney - Actor (Protector / Red Ink / The Cutting Edge)
D. B. Sweeney
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know iconic actor D.B. Sweeney. In this episode, we chat about his long and storied career, and some behind the scenes fun; including performing on Broadway with Broadway Joe himself, learning how to ride a horse on the set of a movie he wasn't even in, a famous actor deliberately trying to get D.B. injured on set, and even how an actress' broken leg altered one of the biggest movies of the 90's. D.B. is quite knowledgeable about horse racing and so we trade stories about being at The Kentucky Derby at the same time, before diving into his time as a professional baseball player. He has several film projects in the works currently. 'Protector' (Milla Jovovich) is out NOW, 'Red Ink' recently completed filming, as did the film 'Boot Lake' (part of the 100 Pages Project). 'Last Bastard Standing', 'That's Amore', 'Breaking The Ice', and 'Horsehead' are all in various forms of pre-production; so, we talk a bit about all of these films as well. D. B. is a very passionate supporter of the United States military, so we discuss why that is, and how he is involved in helping our veterans. As we close out the show, I ask D.B. if there was anything else that he wanted to discuss, maybe something I missed. I meant about his career, or himself. His answer was not at all what I was expecting, and it shows how selfless D.B. is. Bravo, Mr. Sweeney. Check out 'Protector' in theaters now, and keep your eyes peeled for all of his upcoming projects.
