\"\"<\/p>\n

The web series <\/span>Down With David<\/span><\/i> is a raunchy comedy about a straight guy struggling to pay the bills who takes a job dancing in a gay bar in West Hollywood that soon discovers he\u2019s able to pick up more hot chicks than he can handle. \u00a0Created by Derek Nelson, the series is based on his real-life experiences. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Derek creating a hilarious and outrageous series won\u2019t surprise people back in his hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania. \u00a0Growing up there he thrived on his goofiness and antics to entertain family and friends. \u00a0His ability to make people laugh was his calling card to the entertainment industry. \u00a0In high school he took his skills on stage and with a few others started up a traveling sketch and improv group called Dutch Blitz Krieg Comedy Tour. \u00a0He continued his training in college when he enrolled in acting at UNLV. \u00a0Being too anxious and having the desire to act, he dropped out of school and immediately (meaning within hours) was casted in the Vegas production <\/span>Tony and Tina\u2019s Wedding<\/span><\/i>. \u00a0Self promoting himself, his \u201chead shot,\u201d in more than one way, of him naked holding a basketball covering his privates, landed him a supporting role in the comedy, <\/span>Harold<\/span><\/i> that stars Cuba Gooding, Jr. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Succeeding in Hollywood is a very difficult, long, emotionally draining road and Derek was up for the challenge. \u00a0With his Vegas stage experience and coming fresh off the Cuba Gooding Jr. film, he moved to Hollywood to pursue an acting career. \u00a0With the experience of having a supporting role in a major studio production, he was hoping that would get his foot in the door, however the reality was he couldn\u2019t even get into the audition room. \u00a0Unable to get a manager or agent along with competing with actors that have been acting for years and had well over a dozen major credits, he decided he had to write his own material to get his name out there. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He created the show <\/span>The Owners<\/span><\/i> about two guys who set out to buy a pro sports team. \u00a0Derek gave it a shot, but was unsuccessful at setting up meetings with producers and couldn\u2019t even get them to read it. \u00a0\u00a0He decided that his only option was to actually film something and showcase what he can do on a peanuts budget. \u00a0The cheapest idea he had was the web series <\/span>Down With David<\/span><\/i>, which is based on his real-life adventures of attracting women as a dancer in gay bars. \u00a0Derek shares what happened next, \u201cShortly after the realization that I needed to do a web series, I refused to do the Hollywood casting couch to keep my job and found myself in dire financial straits. My one writing partner on <\/span>The Owners<\/span><\/i> allowed me to move into his guest house in Austin, TX — where I continued to go-go dance and do bachelorette parties. It was there that I saved up the money to shoot <\/span>Down With David<\/span><\/i>.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
