Darian's largest film role was
in Timmy's Wish, where he played the title character.
The film was directed by and co-starred Patrick Cannon. It
was a 10 minute film from the Teeny Monkey Film company.
After he's sent to his room for refusing to eat his
vegetables, angry little Timmy prays to heaven to deliver
him from his cruel parents. Much to his surprise, his
prayers are answered-- bigtime. Now it's up to Timmy to
clean up the mess. {photo

Will ran into the hospital and
gave Sami a big hug. Sami was so happy to see her little
boy, who was back from Africa. Sami had spent the whole
summer away from her son. This was Darian's first scene on
DAYS. Just from the first show we can tell this kid is going
to be a scene stealer. He puts all his effort into his
acting. {09/02/02}
Will was ready to tell Sami
about all the fun he had in Africa with his father, Lucas
and grandfather, Bill. {09/02/02}
Will chimed in, saying that he
stayed up late and had no bedtime anymore. Sami asked "Why?"
In a smart voice Will said, "It's not like I had school the
next day." {09/02/02}
Billie walked over to greet
Lucas and Will. Will told his Aunt "hi." Then he asked his
father if he could have a pop, hamburger and fries. Lucas
said sure, but he needed to wait a minute. Will said, "But I
am hungry now." {09/02/02}
Sami disagreed with Lucas over
the food, since it was so late and tomorrow was Will's first
day of school. Will was a real brat with his mom, saying "I
have NO bedtime, remember?" {09/02/02}
Darian knows how to use his
eyes and facial expressions very well. Will rolled his eyes
and made lots of smart remarks, being very disrepectful to
his mother. {09/02/02}
Lucas said, "Come on Sami, he
has to eat." Will chimmed in with, "Yeah, come on Sami."
Sami was in shock over Will calling her Sami and not
"Mommy," {09/02/02}
Darian made lots of facial
expressions as he spoke with Sami. Sami requested that he
call her "Mommy." Will said, "Mommy, whatever." Sami said,
"Not whatever." Will asked, "Why are you making such a big
deal out of this?" {09/02/02}
Sami said, "I don't want to
fight with you on your first day back." Will said, "Fine,
I'm not." He still never called her "Mommy." Then asked when
he was going to get to eat. Billie offered to let Sami and
Lucas talk while she took Will s to get some food to eat.
Sami requested that he eat only fries and a drink, no pop.
