Daniel admits that it was his active childhood which sparked his initial interest in performing. Daniel was involved in several accidents naturally leading to many visits to the hospital. It was here that he would watch hours of movies available from the hospital's library and act out scenes for the nurses. Never really succeeding academically, Daniel considered dropping out of high school. He credits his high school drama teacher for urging him to pursue the craft further. Daniel is rumoured to be producing his own feature film. When Daniel is not acting, he enjoys cooking.
