On Eerie, Indiana: The Other Dimension (1998), a spinoff of the homoromantic subtext classic that paired Stanley Hope (Daniel) and Mitchell Taylor (Bill Switzer) as teenage paranormal investigators in an alternate universe.
On I Was a Sixth Grade Alien (1999) as Tim Thompkins, who buddy-bonds with the purple-skinned alien boy (played by Ryan Cooley).
In Model Behavior (2000), as the little brother of a girl involved in a Prince and the Pauper-style switch.
Plus Are You Afraid of the Dark, Goosebumps, The Zack Files, and Darcy's Wild Life.
As an adult, Daniel played a jerk in Juno (2007) and buffed bad boy-turned-hero Sean Cameron on the Canadian teen soap Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001-2008). He's assumed to be homophobic after he pushes the gay kid Marco, but he insists that he's not. At least he managed to display his increasingly buffed physique, with semi-nude and underwear shots nearly as impressive as those of his brother.
Daniel also managed to do some teen buddy-bonding, in the Australian slasher flick Left for Dead (also released as Devil's Night).
He retired from acting to go to college, where he majored in Political Communication. He's currently working as a news associate for ABC, and he's involved with environmental causes.
What's funny is, the slashers paired Sean with Craig or Jay because Sparco wasn't sufficiently slashy.
ReplyDeleteThe show was full of unintentionally funny moments, and I consider the scene where Marco stares at Sean and licks his lips a biggie.
