- In 2005 while working on the film "Homo Erectus" directed by Adam Rifken, (Detroit Rock City, Look) Darryl was struck in the face with the end of a spear during a malfunctioned battle scene by an extra. The wound was so bad it scraped to the bone 1-inch from his left eye. Luckily no scars can now be detected.
- Promoted to a 3rd Degree Black Belt in the KBK/A.M.I.D. System in July 2008. Also holds a 1st Degree Black Belt in Bushido Kempo.
- On January 13, 2010, he founded International Pictures DKP, his production company. It is no longer in operation.
- In 2001 was ranked 2nd in the Nation on the Martial Arts Circuit. Continually ranked in the top five in the state of Texas from 1998 till 2005 on the Texas Sport Karate circuit.
- He entered foster care at the age of 11 and stayed until be was 18.
- I knew that I had a great teacher, Suzanne Esper, when from the first day of class I could tell that she genuinely liked to teach actors and help them become creative artist. She seemed so passionate just from the first day of class. It gave me such a warm feeling that i knew I could be loose, and vulnerable.
- Choosing to be an actor isn't a profession that you just get out of bed one day and say, "I'm gonna be an actor". Being an actor requires a lot of dedication and passion. If you are thinking of an acting career, first ask yourself, Why? and what is acting. If you ask yourself this important question Why, and you have second thoughts, choose another career. To be an actor, you must be certain that this is what you want. The reason I emphasize this point, is that this is not the easiest career to pursue.
- I like acting because of the freedom that you can have while performing. There are no apologies when your in character. Anything goes. Getting to bring a character to life, and live in the moment. Getting to touch others while they are watching a performance I'm doing. This is a joy and feeling not many will ever get to experience.
