Daniel Bastreghi

Daniel was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He's acting passions blossomed doing television commercials as a young man in Brazil. Tired of the hardships of his hometown Sao Paulo he headed to Texas knowing only two people and three words of English. Within 6 months he was fluent in English and in less than a year he was enrolled in college. At age 21, he ventured to Los Angeles and immediately got accepted at the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts where he earned his degree. He's worked with numerous dialect coaches to reduce his accent and improve his English to a standard American dialect. While struggling in Los Angeles trying to break in and continuing to hone his skills, he channeled his energy into writing and working part time in the wine business. In 2009, drawing on his writing skills and work experiences he co-wrote the original script of the movie Chateau Meroux, which featured his debut role in a major motion picture as the charming Romario.
