Daniel's life story began in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where his passion for acting first took root through television commercials as a young man. However, he soon grew tired of the hardships faced in his hometown and made the bold decision to head to Texas, arriving with only a limited grasp of English, knowing only two people and three words of the language. Undeterred, Daniel threw himself into the task of learning, and within a mere six months, he had become fluent in English. His rapid progress was matched only by his determination, as he went on to enroll in college, his thirst for knowledge and experience driving him forward. At the tender age of 21, Daniel made the courageous decision to venture to Los Angeles, where he was promptly accepted into the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts, earning his degree and laying the foundation for a successful career in the entertainment industry. In order to further refine his craft, Daniel worked extensively with dialect coaches, meticulously honing his accent and English skills to achieve a standard American dialect. Despite the challenges he faced in Los Angeles, Daniel persevered, channeling his energy into writing and working part-time in the wine business. This multifaceted approach ultimately proved to be a wise decision, as it allowed him to draw upon his writing skills and work experiences to co-write the original script of the movie Chateau Meroux, in which he made his debut in a major motion picture, playing the charming role of Romario.
