IMO, Daniel will help as operator.
I have heard about this in the news. Daniels support and helping offer was very fast in my mind. BTW, I did not expect something else from "our man".
(I just imagine if Daniel would pick up my phone call...................)

i was not going too as it upsetting much to me but daniel knows that his presence like other stars will make fans to watch and possibly donate some or more money.

he realizes his celebrity power and uses it well. i not think he will be high profile on camera. he will sneak in and take calls then leave quietly.

is like him more than some other stars who will want camera time yes?

It´s fantastic he could help, there are many chilean people in Haiti as UN soldiers.
Hope they raise a lot
