Daniel Vivian

Biography

Daniel Vivian's early involvement from his teens in Eastern European experimental cinema, stand up comedy, solo and group improv shows and Italian medieval fringe theatre was an unlikely springboard for his subsequent castings as psychotic soldiers, creepy monsters, action heroes and thoughtful mobsters in feature films and on television. His imposing physique, wit and dark sense of humour had something to do with this; the growing recognition of the depth, subtlety and range of his performances finds him working nowadays as guest star in Italy's most popular drama series, award winning art house films and major international TV projects.
