Who is Dan Lanigan?

Dan is an American writer, producer and actor.

As a huge fan of props, costumes and cinematic relics, Dan’s dream came true when he co-created and produced Prop Culture for Disney Plus.

Speaking to Collider, Dan revealed that it has been “surreal” to have the opportunity to look through some of Disney’s most iconic movies and produce the series for other fans like him. He said:

I’m a fanboy myself, and I made the show for people like me. Hopefully, that translates to other people.

Dan runs a blog under the name Raider of the Lost Props where he says he’s been collecting film props and set pieces for over 20 years now.

He has such a massive collection of beloved artifacts that each one of them deserves their own space in a museum.

Unfortunately, this spectacular Norrington costume didn't make it into the final cut of Prop Culture. Honestly each of these episodes could have been two hours long. #propculture #cinemarelics #pirates
