About Me


Who am I?
I am an actor performing since the age of ten. I love to be on set. I have been acting in Hollywood since early 2003 and full time half a year later. The upcoming 2007 season after the summer hiatus break will be the start of my FOURTH year! And yes...I AM on imdb! David Tran imdb.com link

Achievements and proudest moments...
My most proudest accomplishment acting wise is being so successful in the relationships I build and the friends I make and get to work with along the way.
I am blessed to work about once a month on the Emmy award winning team of General Hospital as an Orderly. I've pretty much been in scenes with all the main characters who work or visit the hospital.
People ask me the most, "What movies have you been in?"
The answer is in my movies section. I try to be humble and not brag about them too much, but there they are.
Love of my Life...
I love doing movies, and it's where I want my career to eventually go. I want to be a big movie star. And I understand that it will cause me to give up mostly all of my privacy to fans, but I'm kinda doin' that already with everybody watching from outside the biz having an eye on you. So the practice is nice.
Other Tidbits and Trivia...
I misspell & typo often, IDK why. I have chronic "foot in mouth syndrome." It looks to be terminal=D. And I am a hopeless romantic. Yes, one of those.
I've finally created a mySpace just for people I meet and have met or will meet, and not just those that I might never meet ever.
Short term goals: To get on a motion picture shoot on a downtown LA rooftop at night.
Long term goals: Do more independents, have fun on student films, and become a bigtime movie star.
TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF - The Survey
Name: DAVID "D" TRAN
Birthday: Guess.
Birthplace: Halfway from here.
Current Location: Here.
Eye Color: Dark Brown.
Hair Color: Dark Brown.
Height: 5'7"
Right Handed or Left Handed: Correct Handed.
Your Heritage: Cynic.
The Shoes You Wore Today: Someone else's. And yes, I walked in them.
Your Weakness: Not telling.
Your Fears: Not going to be vulnerable by telling.
Your Perfect Pizza: ...is like perfect oral; there IS no such bad kind.
Goal You Would Like To Achieve This Year: Advance my career.
Your Most Overused Phrase On an instant messenger: Don't IM.
Thoughts First Waking Up: Either "Where am I?" or "I'm still alive?"
Your Best Physical Feature: My ass. Stop staring.
Your Bedtime: As often as possible.
Your Most Missed Memory: Being loved.
Pepsi or Coke: Peppy.
MacDonalds or Burger King: BK. Mickey D's has cardboard for food and reminds me of the movie Good Burger where they do weird stuff to the food. And plus the King's fries just look and crunch and taste better.
Single or Group Dates: Don't know, never had a spectacularly good single one.
Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: Nestea. Brisk has Bite. But I haven't had some lately. Among other things...
Chocolate or Vanilla: Ivory over Ebony. They're hotter.
Cappuccino or Coffee: Other than Capp being more fancy, what's the diff?
Do you Smoke: No.
Do you Swear: Hell, fu*k YEAH!
Do you Sing: Like a tone deaf motherfu*ker. Unless I practice and study.
Do you Shower Daily: Some women like the light fragrance a man has after working a long day.
Have you Been in Love: I've found "The ONE" four times (& counting), and I was dumb enough to lose her a different way each time.
Do you want to go to College: Was supposed to be a doctor, life turned upside down, and I followed my love, my passion, now my career.
Do you want to get Married: Why? No one will sign a pre-nup anymore. Otherwise, what's the point except for being owned?
Do you believe in yourself: Only when I need to.
Do you get Motion Sickness: Only if its an ugly person moving.
Do you think you are Attractive: Damn straight. Sexy is in the head first, the bod will follow.
Are you a Health Freak: Not a freak, but I'm in health conscious L.A., so I try.
Do you get along with your Parents: Do you?
Good. Me too.

Do you like Thunderstorms: Only to look at, not to be in. Do YOU like being scared the crap out of, at 3 in the MORNING?
Do you play an Instrument: My lips and hands do the best playing.
In the past month have you Drank Alcohol: Weird enough... no.
In the past month have you Smoked: Nope. Only second-hand.
In the past month have you been on Drugs: No. Just naturally high on life. I know, so cheesy. But I couldn't resist. Temptation was too strong.
In the past month have you gone on a Date: No. Unless you count being out late with a whole bunch of people in the middle of the desert on a Friday night/Saturday morning until 5AM when the sun came up where we could see how fugly everyone really was. Moonlight is cool. Everyone's more beautiful in the dark.
In the past month have you gone to a Mall: I've gone more to malls for work than I did when I went for fun as a teenager.
In the past month have you eaten a box of Oreos: How can you eat a whole box in one sitting? I haven't had even one. Even when it was sitting out for me to grab.
In the past month have you eaten Sushi: No, but does getting Chinese take-out from a store two doors down from a sushi place count?
In the past month have you been on Stage: Yep, and got paid $95.00 for it. But it all went to AFTRA, so boo hoo.
In the past month have you been Dumped: Yep, by my best friend. She never believed I was never in love with her.
In the past month have you gone Skinny Dipping: In the shower/bathtub.
In the past month have you Stolen Anything: Stolen many a glance at a pretty girl.
Ever been Drunk: Yes and some of them very moments cliché.
Ever been called a Tease: Not to my face, but within earshot.
Ever been Beaten up: Does it count if you're in bed?
Ever Shoplifted: Free Winona!
How do you want to Die: Very heroically and dramatically.
What do you want to be when you Grow Up: I don't want to grow up. EVER.
What country would you most like to Visit: Australia/New Zealand. 2nd place: Barbados. Third place: Machu Pichu or The islands with the creepy big stone head sculptures.
In a Boy/Girl..
Favourite Eye Color: Deep or Sky Blue or Pale Blue/Gray or any other light color. Contacts are okay.
Favourite Hair Color: Blonde. But she can be almost any color except for the darker shades. Not so mysterious for me: too much trouble and hard to get along with.
Short or Long Hair: Long. Oh, GOD long. I don't ever want to think I'm going out/having sex with a boy.
Height: The jury's still out on that one. The short ones can be hotties, but the tall ones are sexy too, but only when they aren't sickly skinny.
Weight: Skinny (but not anorexic, waif might be okay) to a few pounds overweight (some chubby girls are cute, but not all, and only ones with the right attitude.)
Best Clothing Style: Whichever the ward stylist picks for me
Number of Drugs I have taken: Only prescription, no other.
Number of CDs I own: 25-50
Number of Piercings: All the holes I have are natural.
Number of Tattoos: My body has never been a human canvas for those who ink. At least as far as most people can see, right? [Wink.]
Number of things in my Past I Regret: Almost one every day now, big and small.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The OTHER actor also known as David Tran. He took the official SAG name of David Tran months before I became eligible. I wish him much success and all the luck in the world. That's 'cause in this industry, that's what one's gonna need to get through this tough but very fulfilling town.
My maker. Even if only for an hour for lunch. I may already have and not known it.
Oh,... and anyone who went to Allen D. Nease who was my friend, even though I might not have verbally acknowledged it and took for granted the chance to have appreciated you then, well, (we have a lot of catching up to do)... And if you knew me from way back when, tell me your fondest memory of us, regardless of significance. What may not be of value to you may mean the world to me.
