DModelPanel set animation for model

[mortalpanda]

how would i go about setting the model to use an animation such as taunt_cheer in a panel?
i didn't make this btw

self.ViewPlayerModel = vgui.Create( "DModelPanel" )
self.ViewPlayerModel:SetModel( LocalPlayer():GetModel() )
self.ViewPlayerModel:SetAnimated(ACT_WALK)
self.ViewPlayerModel:SetAnimSpeed(1)
self.ViewPlayerModel:SetFOV( 70 )
self.RightList:AddItem(self.ViewPlayerModel)

any help is appreciated
