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 went on to land Tyler Perry’s 'The Oval’ on BET 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.'
He’s also a filmmaker. As a writer/director, his short ‘Huli’ screened in several Oscar-qualifying festivals, and was featured on Roku and Hawaiian Airlines. He was chosen for an NAACP Director’s Cohort, where he co-wrote/directed ‘Oasis’. He recently produced ‘Don’t Tell Mama’, the directorial debut of Chloe Leigh King. He produces at Ringshout Productions.
His collaborations in video and contemporary art have appeared at Honolulu Museum of Art, Plimsoll Gallery, Burchfield Penney Art Center, Squeaky Wheel Media Arts 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. He currently lives between Los Angeles and Honolulu and travels frequently to work on films, guest speak, conduct research, and create work rooted in craft, community, and story.
