Daniel J. Launter is Taylor’s loving father and his manager. He comes from Michigan, where he moved from one city to another till his son got interested in acting. After that Dan took the whole family to Valencia, CA, from where his famous son could easily get to LA for auditions.
Dan is in good terms with his son, but some of Taylor’s fans consider him as a bit oppressive because of a famous Slate PR publicist Robin Baum. She cancelled the deal with Taylor after 3 months of collaboration, and the reason of such decision was his father Dan, who tried to make career decisions instead of his popular son.
But in any case Dan is a great family man. He provided his wife Debbie and their two kids with everything necessary, working as a pilot for Midwest Airlines.
