About Me

I may not always make what you may believe to be the right choices and I may not always act the way you’d like but know this; Whichever direction I chose and the manner in which I arrived, it was awareness and passion and trust that got me there. I have big dreams for many different aspects of my life of which I leave in God’s hands. I pray everyday and dream every night. I listen to my inner voice as much as I can. I should listen to my heart more often but my inner voice and my heart are in a bit of a lover's quarrel at the moment. Damn humans! I’m addicted to acting, writing and playing music in my band “panacea.” I’ve recently begun my addiction to producing when I started my production company “Lago Films” and produced my first short film in which I also starred in “Obsidere.” I am presently working on my directing addiction. Stay tuned----dave“Do not make money your goal. Simply pursue the things you love, and do them so well that they can’t keep their eyes off of you.”David Lago's Demo Reel

Every so often we (the world) are lucky enough to be given a gift directly from God. Someone who will stand and pursue their passion with a fierce drive that most of us are afraid of committing to. Open to judgement and ridicule. One single grain of sand in a sandbox of influence. In this case the very first strategically placed grain. Refusing to be another meat-sack walking around in a robotic-way, he broke away, thus changing the history of the world forever. In his last hours he did what he loved. That was a gift not many can say. The way to live on is to inspire. The same must be done to transcend. To pass beyond the limits of emotion. To be greater than.Happy 73rd Birthday Elvis Aron Presley and brother Aron Presley.Tribute to the Man..Life and Music ..

My Interests

Here's the speech I gave at the 2005 EMMY's. It was a bit controversial because people thought I was being a bitter jerkoff for not thanking anyone but anyone who knows me, from the show or not, knows that I am and can be quite a few things but a bitter jerkoff, I am not. I was doing a Christopher Walken impersonation from "Catch Me If You Can." Just having fun, guys, relax. Entertainment business, remember?..This is one of the "Y & R" scenes I submitted for the EMMYS the year I won. I apologize for the audio being a bit off on a few of these. I'll try and fix it soon..."SOAP TALK" PART 1: Here’s the first half of an interview I did for “SOAP TALK” in 2005 just after the EMMYS, where we discuss and show clips of some of my independent films. .. "SOAP TALK" PART 2: Here's the second half of the show where we talk about the speech...Here are some pictures from the 2006 DAYTIME EMMYS
"Obsidere" will be premiering at The Miami Short Film Festival on Dec. 1. Come show your support, dammit!!Obsidere is a short film that was written by my friend Eric Clark. It was also his directorial debut. He did a freakin'fantasticly great job. Except for when he sucked. But really, he was good. At which one I won't say. But he was. Anyhow, I'm proud to say that "Lago Films" was a part of this. It was my debut as a producer.

..Here is the teaser trailer for the film. It is NOT the actual trailer, just something Eric threw together for your amusement. Enjoy---dave.*********************************************** ************"The Commune"A feisty teen is forced to spend the summer on her estranged father's commune.Written and Directed by Elisabeth FiesProduced by Heidi HornbacherView the trailer...if you dare!Here are some production stills.

..********************************************************** * "Pistoleras" STARTING PRODUCTION SOON. VERY EXCITED. SOON. VERY. ***********************************************************" The Wind and the Long Black Scarf" The story of Clara, a woman torn apart by her undying love for two very different men whose love for her is rivaled only by their hatred of each other. Her solution is simple: to love them both. But when tragedy strikes and one of the men ends up dead, her fear of choosing overwhelms her and she shuts herself off from knowing his identity. When the loneliness becomes too much she sets out to find the man who's left alive and love him forever, if only she knew which man she was searching for... By Mr. Jefferson Fucking Bonar, ladies and gents. Me thinks you will enjoy.
