Daniel Croix is an actor in film, television, and theatre. He made his debut in the NY Times Critic Pick: 'Much Ado About Nothing' directed by Tony winner, Kenny Leon. He stars in BET’s 'The Oval’ as Jason, and appeared in recurring roles on Hulu's 'Love Victor,' and Apple TV’s limited drama series 'Manhunt.'
He’s also a filmmaker. His short film ‘Huli’ screened in Oscar-qualifying festivals across the US and abroad, and was curated at the Kino Babylon cinema in Berlin. He’s an alumni of the NAACP Director’s Cohort where he co-wrote/directed ‘Oasis,’ and was programmed at Lincoln Center. At Ringshout Productions, he produces a slate of artful character-driven films.
His collaborations across video, performance, and multi-media contemporary art have been presented at Honolulu Museum of Art, Plimsoll Gallery, Burchfield Penney Art Center, The Crocker Art Museum, and Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center.
When 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 act, direct, guest lecturer, and collaborate on work rooted in community, craft, and story.
