Daniel O'Shea

Daniel (Danny) O'Shea grew up in L.I.C. New York. He became interested in acting while attending Queensboro Community College, where he starred in several plays (Murray Schisgal's The Tiger, The Merchant by Plautus, Lovers and Other Strangers by Renee Taylor and Joe Bologna, The Brute by Chekhov and The Doctor In Spite of Himself by Moliere). He left school and worked odd jobs, not giving acting another thought. In 1984 the acting bug bit Danny again and he started appearing in Off Off Broadway theater while studying acting with the late Herbert Berghof. In 1985 while attending an open call from Backstage Danny landed the title role in the feature film Flight of the Spruce Goose with Karen Black, Betsey Blair. Dennis Christopher and Jennifer Runyon. After this Danny continued working in film and television, but in his typical iconoclastic, independent fashion walked away from acting in the early 90s. He has returned to the stage in New York City and is looking forward to take on whatever comes his way. Show less «
