Jobsite video clip – scene 8
the above photos are from Male File #2 (1983) – thanks to JohnnyLlama for not only ID’ing the mystery man from Job Site, but also supplying these scans! He sent many more, and you know how I am, I like to curate, and not just post any and all. You’d be surprised just how many of those pics from Male File #2 Shawn is sticking a finger up his ass!
Below, of course, photos from the magazine TRUCKERS! which features stills from the 1984 film Job Site.

Excellent pictures, it’s nice to know who this guy is.
Awesome! I am tickled pick and so glad I could reciprocate. Excellent posting! Now the real challenge…somebody out there find more of Dan/Shawn. Don’t let this be the end…
OMFG this is major!! What a sexy guy I’ve lusted after for so long, thank you for sharing this discovery!
Insanely hot. Epic man.
Awesome! Thanks Johnny and BJ!!
There are a bunch of photos of Dan/Shawn with friends at a party at The Probe in Los Angeles in 1983 (viewable in the facebook group for The Probe) — folks in the facebook group have tried to remember his name and some folks recalled that he worked at the bar in North Hollywood that was called Jobsite (maybe this moving was titled this as some kind of marketing???) and that he appeared on posters for the bar and that his name was Mark with a a surname that sounded like “Siefker” (but not sure of spelling)
found a pic in a Drummer magazine!

The gevi listing for Dan now has some of the info from this page, which it was lacking before. And he’s been added to the scene with Brad in Jobsite as well. But the specific question Woody asked in the other post has to do with this, at least I think it does.
These are the same guys but how did you conclude that Shawn matches up with the Dan name from Jobsite? Aside from the similarity in their last names is there another source that ties him to being Dan (as opposed to any of the 20 or so other guys from that film, aside from the most obvious ones). I think that was what he meant in his comment.
hmmmmm – I think it was process of elimination (take all the cast, delete all the known ones… see who’s left) and name similarity? We did this so long ago, likely in the comments…
then a facebook group more recently…
The similar last names is a strong possible connection but just clicking through some of the more unfamiliar names from the cast list, there are at least 5 or more where Jobsite was their only known film. I just wanted to explain what I think was Woody’s thought process and why he phrased that the way he did for Dan’s page. He wants proof, not hunches and will even grant experts like you (or to an extent me) some leeway. But isn’t going to make a major change to any page based on guesses or potentially faulty logic.
I also informed him about Brad being in Fantasize and he’s already added that to the film page, so maybe he knew that before too? And just didn’t update it before. Anyway that’s another small mystery solved.
um – honestly, can’t remember (JohnnyLlama may, he made the discovery) but not the New York Times so i’m not sweating it – and Woody can speak for himself ( I know he popped in recently and asked this question) But – damn you Zephyr! I went down a rabbit hole, and found another bit of info on our boy Dan (no, not the proof you are looking for, but interesting info) more on that later
I think it’s all good. It is a tiny bit of a leap. And it is a visual ID. No way (yet) to be 100% sure. I haven’t seen Woody’s GEVI update for Dan, but I know he really likes to be certain, and if he isn’t he notes why.
I love GEVI. So much. So so much. What would guys like us do without it?

Great Drummer find BJ! Awesome. I love that stuff. It’s not super important to me to know a real name, but it great. And I love the photo.
