Girls' Night Out (2023)
Daniel Nelson is by no means an award winning actor. And if you ask him he probably never will be. But what he lacks in natural talent he makes up for in persistence. With a film career that started in 2008 he's surprisingly had a couple of half decent roles in that time. Daniel's strengths lie in his physicality usually playing the strong silent bad guy, which he's okay with. You may not know him from playing Kabal in the reboot of Mortal Kombat, and his guest appearance as the Honky Tonk Man in season 2 of Young Rock where they trusted him enough not to dub over his attempt at a Tennessee Accent.
