Gregg Binkley

Gregg is a native of Topeka, Kansas and a graduate of the University of Kansas. He has worked in films with many directors including Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Clint Eastwood and the Coen Brothers, and he has steadily worked in television for over 30 years. He was discovered by many industry people while waiting tables at the Beverly Hills 50's diner Ed Debevics where he walked around visiting with customers as the restaurant's supposed security guard, Barney Fife. Rick Dees saw him there and put him on his late night show, "Into the Night with Rick Dees". Gregg was a series regular for the one year run of the show. He later starred as Harold Skolnick in the films Revenge of the Nerds 3 and 4. He was cast in those projects because he was remembered by the director who had been a regular customer at Ed Debevics. Gregg continued to work steadily in film and television before being cast as Dan the Del Taco guy in the very popular advertising campaign that lasted six years and covered 58 t
