Danny Smith was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, but relocated to Pickering, Ontario, at the tender age of seven, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his life.
Following his high school education, Danny received an acceptance letter from AMDA (American Musical and Dramatic Academy) in New York City, but ultimately decided not to pursue the opportunity, instead opting to appear in numerous musical theatre productions at Stage West in Mississauga.
His passion for the performing arts led him to study and perform improvisational comedy at The Second City in Toronto, where he had the privilege of being taught by the renowned SCTV's Joe Flaherty. This experience had a significant impact on his career, as he went on to secure lead roles in television shows such as "It's Alive!" and "Big Wolf on Campus", as well as film appearances in "National Lampoon's Senior Trip", "All I Wanna Do", and "The Big Hit".
Danny's talents extend beyond acting, as he also wrote and performed the theme song for "Big Wolf on Campus", as well as scoring some scenes in the show. In 2000, he was one of eight men selected to audition for Saturday Night Live, exclusively for Lorne Michaels.
In addition to his work in the entertainment industry, Danny is also a skilled musician. He was the singer/songwriter/guitarist/pianist for the now-defunct rock band The City Drive (Sony Records),which released two albums, "Always Moving Never Stopping" (2006) and "Egocentral EP" (2007). The band had the opportunity to open for notable acts such as Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, Goo Goo Dolls, and Hoobastank.
In recent years, Danny has continued to work in the entertainment industry, appearing in Disney's "Harriet The Spy", "The Ron James Show", and the film "Suck", which won the Audience Award for Best Film at the Whistler Film Festival in 2010.
