Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea:Nestea. Brisk has Bite. But I haven't had some lately. Among other things...

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" three times, and each time 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.

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?

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 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.

Number of Drugs I have taken:Only prescription, no other.
Number of CDs I own:25-50

BooksAnd Dedications:
My God, my parents, and my teachers and mentors along the way who’ve taught me to be the better person I am today.

Quotes of Inspiration from Others: Remember, rejection... is not failure. --Christian L. Scott


Ben Calder: So if you’re scared, why do it?

Anna Foster: Because the things you’re scared of are usually the most worthwhile. --Chasing Liberty, 2004


"Something you might want to consider is that: that safe life that loved ones lead, is probably, for them, a very good life. And, they want a very good life for you too, so, naturally, they would probably like you to follow, in a path that they’re more familiar with.

But as for me, I’m glad to see you’re out there chasing your dreams. And I hope you find them.

I think it’s very important that young people, (and old too), go out there, and do whatever they can that makes them happy. Makes them feel needed. Makes them feel useful.

And I wish you all the luck in the world." --InspectorJury (Dave; Pine Village, Indiana)


"True happiness is far more important than income, IQ, any type of social status, or anything else in this life." --"Life Outside the Fast Lane," Milwaukee

Personal quote: "I am obsessed with knowing who is who on set. Because in this town, the lowly extra could be your next boss, and the lowest PA can be the next big producer."

HeroesFavourite Quotes:
a prophet is not without honor, save in his own
save in his own country, and in his own house.

Remember, rejection... is not failure. --Christian L. Scott

About me:
In a sentence, indescribable. But... Welcome to my page
Hope u have fun here. Smile!!!
"Live for nights you won’t remember with friends you’ll never forget"

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
http://imdb.com/Name?Tran+David+M

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.
