Daniel Croix is an actor, filmmaker, and media artist. He made his debut in the NY Times Critic Pick: 'Much Ado About Nothing' directed by Tony winner, Kenny Leon. He made his television debut in BET’s 'The Oval’ where he stars as Jason, and recently appeared in recurring roles on Hulu's hit series 'Love Victor,' and Apple TV’s prestige drama series 'Manhunt.'
As a writer/director, his short film ‘Huli’ screened in several Oscar-qualifying festivals across the US and abroad, was featured on Hawaiian Airlines, and was curated at the Kino Babylon cinema in Berlin. He was selected for the NAACP Director’s Cohort, where he co-wrote/directed ‘Oasis.’ He produced ‘Don’t Tell Mama,’ the directorial debut of Chloe Leigh King. Through Ringshout Productions, he develops and produces a slate of artful, character-driven films.
His collaborations across video, performance, and multi-media contemporary art have been presented at the Honolulu Museum of Art, Plimsoll Gallery, Burchfield Penney Art Center, The Crocker Art Museum, and Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center.
While not on set, Daniel can be found free-diving in the ocean, visiting sacred sites, cherishing family, and collaborating with friends - combining reverence for land/oceans, cinema, and consciousness. Born in Buffalo, NY, he has a BFA in Acting from SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Theatre Arts & Film. He lives between Honolulu and Los Angeles and travels widely to collaborate, guest lecturer, research, and create work rooted in community, craft, and story.
