Dan Bucatinsky

Dan Bucatinsky was the writer, producer and star of the indie, romantic comedy All Over the Guy.  More recently, he was Co-Executive Producer of the NBC dramedy, “Lipstick Jungle” and continues to write original pilots and films.

In 2003, Dan partnered up with Lisa Kudrow to start Is Or Isn't Entertainment, a company best known for its emmy-nominated HBO series “THE COMEBACK” starring Kudrow as Valerie Cherish.  In addition to Executive Producing, Bucatinsky played Valerie’s publicist, Billy Stanton.  Is Or Isn’t continues to receive attention for its critically acclaimed and award-winning web series, Web Therapy, starring Kudrow as an incompetent therapist, and co-starring Bucatinsky as a devoted client.  The third season of the Lexus sponsored web series has just premiered and is available on iTunes – along with the hilarious new Web Therapy iPhone app.  And in an unprecedented move, Showtime has recently agreed to license ten half-hour episodes comprised of actual webisodes, due out in early 2011.

Bucatinsky and Kudrow partnered with UKs Wall to Wall Productions to bring the hit, genealogy docu-series “WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE” to American Television.  The show premiered in March on NBC to impressive ratings and reviews and has just been renewed for a second season.

Dan is a regular writer/performer in the acclaimed reading series "Afterbirth: Stories You Won't Read in a Parenting Magazine".  He's included in the collection of essays published under the same name by St. Martin's Press – recently in paperback.

As an actor, Bucatinsky has appeared on dozens of television programs, most recently on "Grey's Anatomy", "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "CSI Miami".  He's also appeared on the big screen opposite Diane Lane in Under the Tuscan Sun, as well as Bounce and The Opposite of Sex – both directed by his husband of 17 years, filmmaker Don Roos, with whom he lives with their two children, Eliza and Jonah.
