Buddy Dolan / aka Albert M. Dolan / aka Armada Entertainment Scams
This is information is an opinion and personal conclusions drawn from an experience with investing and interacting with Buddy Dolan (aka Albert M. Dolans) / Armada Entertainment and Buddy Dolans supposed movie projects or other investments. As always you should check all sources before forming your own opinion and its always a good idea to do both a background check and your own fact check on any resume credits and Buddy Dolans arrest and court records. These are strictly my findings and conclusions.
Out of dozens of claims I could find only ONE true studio funded movie credit and he was not much more than an extra in the background for a split second.
Here is my experience and research:
Some of us have lost a lot of money believing Buddy Dolan and his charming personality. But as I learned the hard way people are not always who they seem or claim to beNow, its one thing to lie on your resume because you might have low self-esteem issues.
But, its quite another to take credit for another persons work or use false credits in order to mislead people into thinking you are a producer to get them to give you money or con your way into a job that someone else really earned. When you find out that someone you trusted lies to you like Buddy Dolan did it seems like it cant get any worse, but it can, especially when you find out it is without remorse and he still adding to his list of lies.
So here are the clarifications that have been found on Mr. Buddy Dolan (aka Albert M. Dolan) s resume and his August World Physique interview which can be found here: http://www.worldphysique.com/interviewwithbuddy.html? Reloaded=true. Buddy Dolan Resume and what I concluded are Misrepresentations (most of us would call them lies):
Probable and researched false resume listings:
HARVARD: Graduated from Harvard: NOPE Harvard denies any affiliation or formal student status with Buddy Dolan under any of his names.
JUILLIARD: His story alternates between graduating from Juilliard and attended Summer Stock: But either way Julliard says NO HE DIDNT.
MARINES: Claims to be a former Marine and fought for our country (occasionally even throws in being a Marine pilot): But NOPE. Military says it aint true! When confronted about this one Buddy Dolan says the records were erased because he was on a secret mission. The Military guy I talked with wanted to know if Buddy Dolan needed the name of a good psychiatrist (he was making a joke).
BLACK BELT: So far there is no registration or record that can be found and in one case, when a guy next to him threw a playful punch Buddy Dolan didnt know the first thing about blocking or technique so it aint looking good for Dolan on that one either.
SEMI-PRO BASEBALL: Doesnt look real since there are no records that could be found anywhere so far and Mr. Dolan wont say which team.
Now onto the BUDDY DOLAN FALSE MOVIE CREDITS. Creating false movie credits is easier than you think all Buddy Dolan had to do was go onto www.imdb.com and post them and the other websites which copy from www.imdb.com did the rest to spread the lies throughout the internet and make it look legit but the studios arent thrilled with the lies. If it says uncredited there is a much greater possibility it isnt true and a few that are posted on imdb.com as credited still arent true. So if in doubt watch the film and look on the end credits and for Buddy in the movie. If there is no Buddy Dolan in any part of the films or their credits; or the studio had NO records, I considered that a false credit. I dont think buddy understands that when he outright takes credit from a person who is the real stunt man - who paid his dues and was really working on the film that is a twisted thing to do to another person. You dont take credit for someone elses work.
Onto the MOVIE CREDITS and HOLLYWOOD CREDITS: Be careful of sudden photo proof with photo shop its easy to fake something. For most of these credits there were no records from the studio that Buddy Dolan was ever on set.
Probable and researched false credits:
THE EXPENDABLES: Buddy Dolan claims to be a stunt double for Jason Statham: Studio says: NO! The studio says Guillermo Grispo is the real stunt double for Jason Statham and has no current record of a Buddy or Albert Dolan working as a stunt man on the film.
SPIDERMAN: Buddy Dolan claims to have done stunts for the movie. Studio says NOPE!
PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN: Buddy Dolan claims to be a character; studio says (you guessed it) NOPE!
WEST WING: Studio says NO Records or Footage of a Buddy Dolan.
JAG: Producer Office says NO Buddy Dolan in the episode Persian Gulf or a character named Major Polk.
CSI: MIAMI: Producer Says: NO Peter Taylor in episode Hell Night
CROSSING JORDAN: Studio Says: No featured actor named Buddy Dolan in Justice Delayed.
CSI: NY: Producer says: NOPE
TRANSPORTER 2: Producers office says NOPE and says real credit should go to Phil Culotta.
WE ARE MARSHALL: Buddy claims to be a character named Spoon. Producers office says there is no such character.
THE DEPARTED: Studio says no record of Buddy and no character named Sean.
COLD CASE: Casting Department says no record of a Buddy Dolan on any episode.
Claims to be 510 is 58 really that desperate to lie about your height?
Claims to be He was the ripped sexy hunk in Calvin Klein's "LA's photo shoot" video. Calvin Kleins legal department says Buddy Dolan has never been hired by Calvin Klein to represent its products.
Imdb took down the following credits presumably because they were also false: JUST CAUSE THE DEPARTED BAD BOYS ALIAS THE LONGEST YARD DAYS OF THUNDER STARGATE
Other credits: Well he had a lot more but IMDB wised up to some of them and took them down but here is what he posted on his professional resume:

SO WHAT IS REAL? Buddy Dolan was in fact an extra and stand-in on China Moon. Buddy Dolan was an actor in what might be called a soft porn film called Animals. Buddy Dolan did try to write, star and film a B-film movie called Point of Contact. As far as I can tell these three things are the only genuine credits with only one being a real Hollywood movie. Which makes sense considering none of us have actually been able to find him in any of the episodes and the studios dont seem to have any records of him but heymaybe it was that secret mission thing from the marines that erased all his identifying informationor hes just run out of lies. You know the sad part is Buddy has worked hard on his personal athletic skills but somehow that wasnt good enough and he felt that that he had to twist his accomplishments.
What else is real? Buddy Dolan was ARRESTED for the felony of impersonating a Police Officer. It appears he doesnt really know who he really is and since his arrest has scaled down his claim from being a police office to just claiming to be a former Marine. For those of us with family who really did risk their lives this is a disgusting pretense. I hope with a spark of hope, that Buddy will have a grand moment of resolution but in case he doesnt there is a list of things to consider if someone wonders what others have experienced.
Next time Ill do a little research before I trust someone who starts dropping credits and names.
