Taylor Calmus

Taylor Calmus grew up on the plains of South Dakota building BMX ramps and learning the value of hard work. He received a BA in Communication Studies and Theatre from the University of Sioux Falls and argues that even though no-one ever asks to see his college degree, he is using it. While at USF he spent his time filming sketches and performing in over 10 college theatre productions.

After college he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a creative career with acting in the foreground. His most notable credits include, ABC's The Middle, a re-occurring role on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and a slew of commercials and appearances. In addition to acting, Calmus keeps busy with other creative outlets including Stencil Graffiti Art and woodworking. His paintings have been commissioned for brand launches, red carpet events, and over 200 personal collections. Calmus is also the creator and design patent holder of the cassette tape coffee table which is now in 7 different countries.

All this aside, his most prized role is being a father. Calmus' wife had a baby boy in the end of 2015. Two weeks before his son's birth Calmus started a weekly Vlog called Dude Dad that is a comedic look into what it's like to be a brand new father. The series is one part informative, two parts ridiculous. On the channel, he combines his storytelling skills with his parental experiences. He posts sketches, pranks, vlogs, music parodies, and more on a regular basis.

Calmus, now with three kids, also has a TV show on he Magnolia Network called Super Dad that follows along with him as he helps other dads create amazing backyard projects for their kids.
