My name is Julian and I am a passionate young actor with a wide range of linguistic and physical skills. I also speak fluent English, Bulgarian and Spanish and I'm currently studying Italian. I have a General American accent and I'm good at many others. I have been a professional swimmer on an International level for the last 12 years. I started acting two years ago. With my first ever acting audition I got in the National Youth Theatre of GB and I was one of the only foreigners. After that I signed with an agent and that has led me to doing many commercials such as Gillette, Lucozade, Batiste, Xbox, Chevrolet, Denman and many short films. As a model I have worked on many lifestyle, fashion and sports projects. I am currently studying with Hollywood acting and success coach Bernard Hiller. I am currently playing the second lead male role in an action packed American Horror feature film CODE RED and I am in pre-production on my ambitious short film "A Hero's Journey".

Julian is a full-time actor who speaks in a General American accent, who is always studying and challenging himself with different courses and acquiring new skills that enrich his life and craft. In July 2012 he was invited to the first ever Acting Masterclass at a film festival in Ischia. The 10th Ischia Film and Music Festival Masterclass was a life-changing event for all participants as the class participants got to perform scenes and improvisations co-directed by US casting director April Webster, Academy award winning Director/Writer Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby) and Oscar nominee Rob Reiner (A Few Good Men).
His determination to gain experience and learn by doing lead him to this amazing opportunity, and to his well developing career. Julian has also become a member of the National Youth Theatre in 2011 and he even achieved this in his first ever acting audition. He completed many shorts and other projects while also gaining a bachelor degree in Business Management in 2010-2012: He got his first big commercial break for Gillette France in late 2011 which is still airing on French TV; followed by for his second, even bigger commercial break - a Gillette Promo Campaign for Sky Sports, containing 10 promotional videos with Julian Daniel as the lead - the Shaving Man. Another one of his proud projects is the music video for Drum and Bass legend DJ Hype's label; The song is called 'Why Can't You See' by artists Sub Zero and Supreme Being. Other recent work includes a video game trailer for Steel Battalion by Capcom and Maverick Media and a music video for Mettalica's 2012 tour!
Julian Daniel is applauded for his professionalism on set, his flexibility, readiness and eagerness to create the best piece of art possible. He has a great eye for detail and has worked as a continuity assistant in a few productions as well as starring in them.
In addition to that, Julian used to be a professional swimmer at an international level. Being a natural athlete, and having some boxing and stage combat skills he is suitable for more physically challenging roles.
Julian is currently working on the ITV documenntary drama 'True Crime' as well as writing and producing his first, very ambitious short film - 'A Hero's Journey'.
