Born and raised in Mississauga, Ontario, Danny's innate sense of humor and ability to elicit laughter from those around him were apparent from a very young age. As a young boy, he would often perform stand-up comedy for his friends in his neighborhood, earning the reputation as the "funny guy" throughout his grade school years. When he transitioned to high school, Danny excelled in his drama classes, actively participating in all school plays, which further fueled his passion and abilities for performing.
In one notable performance, Danny took on the role of a cruel husband with such conviction that a teacher, who was watching the play, was deeply moved by the portrayal due to its striking resemblance to her difficult father. This experience had a profound impact on Danny, as it made him realize that he didn't always have to be funny to engage or entertain an audience. Consequently, he began to take on more dramatic roles in his drama class, showcasing his versatility as a performer.
As Danny's talent continued to evolve, his teachers and friends encouraged him to pursue acting as a career. After completing his education in Social Service Work at college, Danny embarked on a career as both an actor and stand-up comedian.
