Daniel de Weldon fuses innate talent and disciplined dedication to the craft of acting and writing. Raised in both Washington, D.C. and Newport, Rhode Island, Daniel's upbringing was steeped in art with cultural roots in Vienna, Austria-guided by the influential presence of his father, the esteemed sculptor Sir Felix de Weldon. Combined, this set the stage for a career illuminated by creativity and passion.

His rigorous training under the legendary Uta Hagen, followed by his acceptance into the Actors Studio where he was mentored by icons such as Al Pacino, Ellen Burstyn, Martin Landau, and Mark Rydell showcases a commitment to craft that has defined his path, enabling him to absorb and reflect the depth of human experience through his performances.

De Weldon's multifaceted career on stage, in film, and on TV has been marked by critical acclaim and recognition, including numerous Critics' Choice awards. De Weldon won two "Best Actor" awards from the Independent Horror Movie Awards and IMDb's 13 Horror.com, portraying Jason an active-duty Special Forces officer in Desert Storm who returns home bringing the war with him while chronically suffering from psychotic PTSD, in the critically acclaimed film "Anonymous 616".

His portrayal on stage in "Danny & The Deep Blue Sea" with 15 critics' choice awards stands out as a pivotal moment, earning the praise of The Los Angeles Times Chief Critic Charles McNulty. Daniel's capacity to delve into complex characters and emotional landscapes is further evidenced in his performances in productions such as "Kingdom of Earth" (portraying Tennessee Williams), "The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later" and "A Muse of Fire," where he shared the stage with the likes of Barbara Bain and Frances Fisher, highlighting his adaptability and the breadth of his acting prowess.

The transition to television has seen Daniel de Weldon embodying the role of Gar Madden in the eagerly awaited series "Chaser," set to premiere on April 12, 2024.

The "Chaser" series has already garnered attention and accolades, including a Best TV Series award at the Birmingham Film & TV Festival and a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Daniel at Britain's Breaking-TV Film Festival, affirming his ability to shine alongside celebrated fellow actor nominees like Rose Byrne and Oscar Isaac. Daniel's earlier role as Young Doc Holliday in the TV pilot "Badland Wives," directed by Stephan Campanelli of "Momentum" and "Indian Horse" (both executive produced by Clint Eastwood) underscores de Weldon's versatility.

Upcoming projects, including the biopic "Monumental" about Daniel's father Felix de Weldon, and a Broadway musical feature film produced by Emmy winner Maria S. Schlatter of George Schlatter Productions, promise to highlight further Daniel de Weldon's remarkable journey in the arts, illustrating his enduring passion and significant impact on stage and screen.

 Critical Acclaim for Daniel de Weldon:

Dread Central Critic's Choice. "Once again, de Weldon dominates the frame as the villainous bad boy, using continuous interference of intimidation and violence. He brilliantly instills fear, pinpointed perfectly by his presence and his control over Anabel. Catering to his mood swings and appeasing his demands only creates a bond between the two misguided talents which helps bring them together...even without the incessant meddling by Eddi to win her over. With a pinch of gloomy taunts in bully-like fashion, it's clear executive producer Jeremy Howe has helped create something more ominous than his "Big Bang Theory" and "Young Sheldon" hits while holding onto the dark humor and sarcasm we've come to adore." - Film Critic Meredith Bogard Brown

What the Butler Saw Critic's Choice: "The way DeWeldon transforms Jason from a hipper than thou vet to a dude with a serious God-complex has to be seen to be believed." - Film Critic James Scarborough Of The Huffington Post

Horror News Critic's Choice: "Special performance honors in the picture to Daniel de Weldon ... Stanislavski promoted the idea ... Many don't do it nearly as well. A central character tour-de-force... the camera eye is on de Weldon and he does not disappoint with his riveting presence." - Film Critic Kevin Nickelson

Los Angeles Times Critic's Choice: "Perfectly cast, Daniel de Weldon's languorous portrayal of self-preening Lot (Tennessee Williams) is an instance of unimpeachable camp - he touches up the roots of his tinted locks as reverently as he fondles his mother's precious crystal... performances make the experience richly entertaining." - Chief Critic Charles McNulty

DreadCentral.com Critic's Choice: "Anonymous 616 could go straight to big screens; a rarity that could find company with films like The Blair Witch Project and the first Paranormal Activity." - Film Critic, Josh Millican

Los Angeles Times Critic's Choice: "de Weldon, effectively contained, finds an arresting stillness, gorgeously performed. Deeply inhabited on a moment to moment basis, turbulently affecting and robust performance, real stakes, gorgeously conjure the sudden weightless astonishment, grace and guts" - Charlotte Stoudt (LA Times, NY Times, and Village Voice Top Critic)

Horrorpedia Critic's Choice: "Daniel DeWeldon is brilliant as the complacent turned ruthless Jason who refuses to deny this alter-ego taking over his psyche. He instantly transforms into a superior, paranoid, and narcissistic animal, pillaging the house of all its demons." - Horrorpedia Film Critic Meredith Bogard Brown

Los Angeles Times Critic's Choice: "To its considerable credit, this production was deeply inhabited on a moment-to-moment basis... High-octane talent, de Weldon brought gritty authenticity...had me admiring the performances." - Charles McNulty (Chief LA Times Critic)

This was my first time seeing him in a movie and his performance is unbelievably strong... It's easily the most intense performance I've ever seen in an indie movie... de Weldon punches above the weight of the entire movie and I expect we'll see more from him... an actor likely to make it big.

LA Weekly Critic's Choice: "de Weldon sat staring into space playing out Shanley's Apache dance with scrupulous honesty and attention to the details, unfolding in the ebbs and flows of real-time... live-wire performance... was the art and craft of being... it matters because it's so rare when they get it so right, the authenticity of it in a world of fakery - a fleeting, sacred moment." - Steven Leigh Morris - Head Critic LA Weekly

Los Angeles Daily News Critic's Choice: " The other two actors here are finely skilled, but they are merely acting. We begin to wonder whether de Weldon is merely acting, not reassured by his nearly spectral bows at the play's end." - Top Critic Dany Margolies

LAStageScene.com Critic's Choice: "de Weldon with a James Dean look and intensity creates and accomplishes the miraculous, he makes "Danny" heroic. de Weldon is a member of the legendary Actors Studio and it shows. In a city where most plays run 6 weeks or less, The Elephant Theater's production of John Patrick Shanley's unexpected love story of two very lost and damaged souls, (8 months running) has become a real L.A. theater phenomenon. Recipient of the very hard-to-get L.A. Times "Critics Choice," last night I found out why. " - Steven Stanley

ReviewPlays.com Critic's Choice: "Initially and damn effectively, de Weldon is a blunt force instrument, to borrow the phrase with which M labeled Daniel Craig's newly minted 007 Bond. de Weldon's transformation was magnificent in his tentative attempts of intimacy and tenderness." - James Scarborough
