ABOUT DANIEL

From the moment he first danced to James Brown as a toddler, Daniel James Bentley knew the stage was calling. The youngest of three and son of a pastor and a teacher, he found his passion early—landing roles in community theatre at 11, signing with CESD at 12, modeling for brands like Levi’s and Macy’s, and appearing on Law & Order: SVU before touring nationally with Hairspray. After years dedicated to family, faith, and mastering diverse trades, his love for acting never faded. Recently trained in the Meisner technique, Daniel made his return to the stage starring in Cormac McCarthy’s The Sunset Limited at Theatre on The Edge while he was in Orlando, FL , and now continues his journey in LA to inspire others through storytelling—giving all glory to God and embracing the path ahead.
