attend Mckinley High for a couple years. After high school Daniel
remained in the community for a few years until entering an acting
contest (IMTA) in New York. Fascinated with films for most of his life
Daniel always had a deep rooted acting bug that continually worked away
at him. Unable to ignore it any longer he entered the contest and won 5
awards. He was also given a scholarship to attend the acclaimed school:
The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. Fifteen days after
returning from IMTA in New York he packed up and moved back to New York
to attend school. For the next two years he worked hard learning his
craft and in January 2008 he co-starred in the Off-Broadway production
of Bathsheba. In May 2008 he graduated at the top of his class from The
New York Conservatory. Daniel has just co-starred in the thriller
