Dan Benson

I guess I will wade into this quagmire. The key point that people are forgetting about this show and why Disney and David do not want him back is the fact this show is a children show not an adult oriented one. So minor children are the target audience. I don't believe he will portray an adequate roll model for young children. I don't think parents would allow it. When Dan made that decision to move his career out of the children theme market he gave up his chance to go back there. So he need to move on to shows/movies that are 18+ years and older. Now if you do a google search on him the first content that will appear is his adult gay themed pictures. That is not what a parent would want their young children to see. Dan needs to move on and find other projects.

It's clear that the issue with Dan isn't not being invited back it's the vid with David Henrie's reaction to a post that includes Dan as an option along with other former co-stars and when asked which of them he'd want back he could have just ignored that Dan was one of the choices but he choose instead to make a snarky comment. They were most likely friends when they were young or at least co-workers so it's painful for Dan to see that. Henrie had nothing to gain by being nasty.
Dan has been very open from the beginning that he knew his choice to explore sex work would permanently end his acting career with Disney and he was ok with that.

They both could have/should have acted more politically correct but they didn't. But the fact remains that Dan is no longer a role model for young children. They both need to wish each other well and success in their careers and move on.
 
So then why does he keep talking about it? All I see is him trying to get Zeke on the show again. Every few weeks or so he comes up with something on Twitter or Instagram to push to get Zeke back on the show. If it was a joke, of course say it once but seriously, let it go.
because his entire intent is to appeal to a hypersexual group of disney channel fans who grew up with him. i'm sure he's well aware he's burned a bridge. it's just the "in case you forgot, i played a relevant-but-not-actually-relevant character on wizards of waverly place. now, i have a big dick and do porn" works for him because any dirty mind would be curious to see a conventionally attractive D-list actor they grew up with fulfill their deepest fantasies.

this whole situation is just aggy, though, because while i don't agree with david henrie being so cryptic about dan's sex work in front of a cast of minors, who immediately caught the shade...
...buzzfeed's even more messier for adding zeke on that quiz knowing the circumstances.

dan is just using this as an easy way to get promotion because he definitely has that privilege now. so, more power to him.

I wouldn't say it killed his chances but anything for kids he's not gonna be in but since he wasn't the main character or favorite character in the show itself he prolly got paid less than them. I would use garrett clayton as an example but that him coming out and he's still getting some acting jobs but he's mostly modeling

Well im gonna spill some stuff you all can find yourself david and Dan were never friends they were likely fighting well david was that side eye comment of his confirmed that plus the wizards of Waverly place podcast david was mostly a jerk to Dan. Dan has every right to be mad heck he's more happier doing nudes and david has well this show and once it's over he'll go back into obscurity

It's clear his comment is all about David and not about being bitter he isn't being asked back.

it's exhausting because y'all are reading into this entire situation like annoying pre-teen disney know-it-alls. like, can we all just accept that dan is never setting foot on a Disney set again? and just because they were on-screen besties doesn't mean they liked each other in real life.
 
as a Selena fan, I hate to, but I can’t help but feel like her heart isn’t entirely in the new show. like the only reason she agreed to be involved is maybe because she feels like she owes it to the fans of the original series? I don’t believe it was a cash grab though - she’s literally a billionaire, just had a movie come out, and not to mention Rare Beauty... it’s just that for years, she tried to distance herself from the show and Disney. yes, she has talked about how grateful she is for the opportunity, but she’s made it clear that she has had no interest in working with Disney Channel again until now.

I can see how David would be in it just for the money - he’s not exactly on the same level of success as Selena… plus, he hasn’t appeared on David DeLuise and Jennifer Stone’s podcast and apparently distanced himself from the show and the rest of the cast since it’s original end.

anyway, I appreciate Dan for explaining the situation, and do sympathize with him for his reason for starting his OnlyFans and choosing this career path. I wish him the best.

well, i feel selena probably has fashion on her radar and only murders in the building is an award winning series. she's honestly better off and probably did it for the fans. i'm not a wizards of waverly place fan and never been (honestly, preferred the hannah montana and that's so raven era) but given its a reboot centered for a newer generation of kids, i mean... i get why.

seeing this tiktok does make me feel a little empathetic and remorseful for my critiques on his content and how he approaches it. given that his nudes were definitely leaked and all around here and how we really don't take in consideration the trauma a lot of actors deal with when things do leak.

then again, there are a lot of actors who got leaked too that still got acting gigs, like tyler posey, cody christian (all-american) and others but i definitely have a different perspective.

still kinda wish he switched up the content a little more but hey

Yes, Tyler, Cody, etc., all had leaks, but producers understand that these videos were meant to be private, but a trust was broken. Cody pretty much disappeared for awhile. It was traumatic for him. But they didn’t become full time porn actors. That’s the key difference.
