Another damned obit, folks. This one's for TV producer and performer Danny Breen, a giant in the world of improv comedy. If you know his face, it's probably from his on-camera work on HBO's Not Necessarily the News or from his many guest appearances on situation comedies. Behind the scenes, he worked on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The Wayne Brady Show, Ellen: The Ellen DeGeneres Show and many others.
A proud graduate from Chicago's Second City show/training grounds, Danny was well-liked and well-respected and a lot of folks are saddened that he lost his long struggle with cancer at the age of 67. I only knew him casually but you could instantly tell he was a friendly, funny guy. We could use a lot more of those.
