CLEVELAND, Ohio — "The second I walked in the producer comes up to us and asked, 'Hey are you guys going to grab a drink?'" local actor Dan McCurry said.

McCurry, 26, is in the process of becoming a full-time actor and credits his audition video about loving LeBron James for landing a spot on a locally filmed episode of Comedy Central's Drunk History.

Drunk History, and the show's creator/host Derek Waters, announced on social media that it would be at The Euclid Tavern/Happy Dog in Uptown Jan. 12. After some back and forth with the show's producer, McCurry went into the basement while Clevelanders upstairs watched Ohio State's national championship victory.

"Nobody was sloppy drunk that night since there was so much chaos and they still had a show to produce," he said, admitting he wasn't quite drunk, but buzzed. "Yeah that's what I might've been."

The episode wasn't filmed in the basement of Happy Dog, however. McCurry explained that the producer whispered in his ear while he drank a Great Lakes Brewing Co. beer: "Meet us at [this location] tomorrow and don't tell anybody."

McCurry could not disclose the location of the shoot, but said when he got there, "it had shenanigans written all over it." He also couldn't comment on what history story he or others shared for the episode.

McCurry did share that the shoot was outside. A quick search of Water's Instagram account shows that he posted a video at the Cleveland Metroparks toboggan chutes in Strongsville the day after the Happy Dog announcement. (He was also at the Christmas Story house in Tremont that day too, though.)

The season 3 premiere date has not been announced, but when McCurry watches the episode he said he knows he'll be crying laughing.

McCurry has made appearances in "Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice (Warner Bros. 2016) and "Cleveland Abduction" (Sony Pictures Television 2015) which is a film about The Kidnappings of Ariel Castro, as his "Neighbor."
