Biography

Danny MAlin

Jump to

Daniel grew up in Pointe-Claire, the west island of Montreal. His passion for acting grew over the years of high school watching classmates perform various musical classics. Jealousy grew from his seat and drove him to join the musical production of Pirates of Penzance, playing a pirate and a policeman and then being awarded the a role Cliff the Janitor in the opening scene for his outstanding attendance. His nick-name, Cliff Bun, originated from this production, and carried through the years, which in turn played a coincidence in projects he landed, such as being a body double in The Last Sign (2005) for Tim Roth, as well using his buns in a post-production independent film. Daniels film set debut was in _Who Gets the House (1999)_ with Canadian actors Elisha Cuthbert, Ricky Mabe and Jay Baruchel.

His development as an actor came from attending John Abbott College, where he graduated in a three year technical theater program. While attending this program he played Mickey Mouse and Forrest Plump and various other characters. In the third year he was cast as a supporting role in 'The Shadow Box'. His journeys have taken him from coast to coast, attending HB Studios in New York, TVI Studios NAI in L.A., and as well performing Shop raffles aboard Carnival Cruise Lines.

In high school, he was a sports jock running for the Track, playing tight end for the Football team and centering it up for Hockey team. Growing up from the age of five, his biggest thrill was playing inter-city hockey and crunching guys against the boards.

When I went to my first acting school, I performed an original piece at the audition. The director of the school told me the reason why I wasn't accepted was because they were afraid I wouldn't be able to function co-operatively in a group setting. I went into the office the following week, and signed up for 4 workshops, including, voice, on camera workshops and two others. When I got home, I was called by the school, and they apologized to me for having a wrong first impression, and they accepted me into the program.
