Recently, Don was seen in a recurring role on the hit TV show - "Glee," as well as starring roles in the indie film - "The Yankles," and "Chez Upshaw," starring Kevin Pollack and Illeana Douglas. He just finished starring in "Campin Buddies," along with a role in the independent film - "Remember Isobel," and the short film - "Duality" Most's other feature film credits include "ED TV," directed by Ron Howard; "Crazy Mama," directed by Jonathan Demme, and "The Great Buck Howard," starring John Malkovich.

Following in the footsteps of some of his peers, Don has now directed three feature films. "His first, "The Last Best Sunday," had its World Premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival, and was a feature film winner at the Telluride IndieFest.
