Biography

Daniel Pastore's life journey began in the Bronx, New York City, where he was born into an Italian-American family, surrounded by the vibrant energy of the city that never sleeps.

Growing up in the nearby town of New Rochelle, New York, Pastore's formative years laid the foundation for the person he would become.

Upon completing his high school education, Pastore made the bold decision to enlist as a sailor in the United States Navy, where he honed his skills and gained valuable life experience.

Following his time in the Navy, Pastore pursued higher education at Pace University, where he spent three years further developing his intellectual and personal capabilities.

However, it was during this period that Pastore's path in life took an unexpected turn. He befriended actors Matt Dillon and Kevin Dillon, which ultimately led him to venture into the world of acting.

Fast forward to June 3, 2015, when Pastore appeared on Good Day New York, where he shared a fascinating anecdote about his life. According to Pastore, he spent nearly three decades in the club business before deciding to pursue his passion for acting in his forties.

This remarkable journey serves as a testament to Pastore's resilience, adaptability, and determination to follow his dreams, no matter the circumstances.
