- Actress
Danielle Hampton is a very unique actress. Half Irish and part native
indian, her exotic look keeps audiences guessing and mesmerized. She
has mastered the role of seductress and her characters command power
and confidence. This is an actress who "...takes prisoners...".
Danielle was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She started
training in dance at the age of 10 and mastered jazz, tap, ballet, hip
hop, ballroom and modern dance. In her preteens, Danielle participated
in professional broadway-style musicals and shows as well as some
commercials. Her dance training continued at Earl Haig Secondary School
where she graduated from the Claude Watson program as a dance major. By
this time she was already an accomplished dancer and professional
choreographer but handn't quite caught the acting bug until she
enrolled in the George Randolph Academy for the Arts. Located in
Toronto, this intensive three year post secondary program focused
mainly on musical theatre. Danielle graduated at the top of her class
receiving not only an Arts Diploma, but also the Triple Threat Award.
The academy opened many doors, as well as her eyes as she realized, in
her own words, "dancers work the hardest and get paid the least.' So
began her acting career. Immediately out of school, Danielle put up a
one woman show at the 2001 Toronto Fringe Festival and was cast in
"Ginger Snaps" which won Best Independent Film in Toronto's
International Film Festival. Her success has only continued since then,
appearing in both American and Canadian movies and television.
Currently, Danielle can be seen on Canadian networks 7 days a week,
appearing as a series regular on Showcase's 'Paradise Falls' and Omni's
'Metropia'. Danielle currently resides in Los Angeles California where
she continues to strive towards her goals. She enjoys the warmer
climate and remains very close to her loving family and friends who
continue to encourage and support her everyday. Danielle's special
skills include:Dance, Stage Combat, Boxing, Running, Swimming, Diving,
Bicycling, Downhill Skiing, Ice Skating, Bartending, Yoga and
