Daniel Wachs Plays Alderman in "Near"

Dan is one of those rare actors who can turn 3 words into an entire scene. He's just that good. This was my first time ever working with him. I had seen his reel – and was so moved by it – that I wrote the part specifically for him. Thank goodness he agreed to do it. Otherwise I would have had to change the character. 

An unrelenting Alderman confronts Elena, forcing her to face the inevitable.
