Daniel Anthony's Early Life and Inspiration

Daniel Anthony was born on 4 October 1987 in Quinton, Birmingham. When he was young, he was quite shy. To help him become more outgoing, his mom sent him to a drama club in South London.

Daniel loved acting right away! Soon, a talent agency noticed his skills and signed him up. He says that Will Smith's acting in the TV show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990–1996) made him want to become an actor.

Later, he appeared as a tough guy in the ITV show Demons (2009). He played Jack in the BBC film Rules of Love (2010). This film was about a boy from a tough neighborhood and a girl from a fancy boarding school.

From 2013 to 2014, Daniel was a regular on the medical drama Casualty. He played Jamie Collier, who was the nephew of another character, Jeff. Daniel said his character was "the calm one, the voice of reason." In 2021, he joined the UK tour of Magic Goes Wrong as Mickey.

He also read the audiobook Children of Steel (2011) for The Sarah Jane Adventures. In 2020, he briefly played Clyde again in a mini-episode called "Farewell, Sarah Jane." This was a special tribute to Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane.
