"There is no one I would trust more to READ MY LIPS . . . and everything else on my face than Dan Hill. He's the guy I go to when I need famous faces analyzed for one of my pieces, when I need someone to tell me which politician was lying during a debate. I'd be lying (and Dan would catch me) if I said Dan Hill isn't the best facial coder out there." Jeanne Moos, CNN

His work is illuminating, and you should know that as I write this, I'm smiling." Mary Carillo, Tennis Channel, NBC Sports, HBO Sports
