Daniel Stisen was born in Mandal, a small town in southern Norway, and grew up in a family of seven, with him being the oldest sibling. His childhood was deeply influenced by his father, a bodybuilder who ran his own gym, and Daniel spent most of his childhood learning the art of bodybuilding from him. In fact, it would be accurate to say that Daniel grew up in the gym, which sparked his passion for bodybuilding and power sports.
As a young man, Daniel began competing in powerlifting at the age of 16, where he secured second place in the Norwegian Championship. He started competing in bodybuilding at the age of 20 and went on to win the Oslo Grand Prix 2002 contest while still a junior. He also won the Norwegian Championship, both junior and senior class, a year later.
Daniel's impressive physique was evident in his strong bodybuilding career, where he squatted 370kg at the age of 21, weighing 99kg. However, his career was cut short due to an injury he sustained in 2008, which tore his left thigh during a photo session for a Norwegian magazine.
After his bodybuilding career came to an end, Daniel moved to Oslo in 2007 and began pursuing a career in modeling and acting. He started with guest performances and eventually transitioned to acting and film work. Daniel has written scripts, acted, and even produced movies, showcasing his versatility as an actor.
To hone his acting skills, Daniel attended Nancy Mannes acting studios in Oslo, where he learned the Stanford Maisner acting method. He also enrolled in the British Action Academy in the summer of 2011 to learn stunt, martial arts, and stage combat. Daniel's goal is to become a well-known action star on the national and international stage.
Daniel has appeared in both Norwegian and English movies, and his film career is gaining momentum. In the summer of 2011, he moved to London to focus on his international career, and he is now on his way to becoming one of Europe's new action stars.
