Danny Arroyo is the talented and charismatic actor/writer/producer who loves comic books and video games. He caught the “acting bug” after watching a Christopher Reeve interview about playing "Superman", and was inspired to pen his first screenplay after reading about Sylvester Stallone's and Matt Damon’s struggles in getting "Rocky" and “Good Will Hunting” made.

Danny’s teenage life was spent in athletic training in New Jersey, with the goal of becoming a pro football player. He was also a voracious reader and film buff, spending hours watching movies - and not just action movies, but all the film classics as well. ("All About Eve", "Lawrence of Arabia" & “City Lights” are some of his favorites). Eventually, Danny’s heart took over and he decided to leave for Hollywood in pursuit of his passion - acting.

Danny is a believer in taking chances. While reading "Backstage West", Danny saw a role that fit his description, in a low budget film. He submitted himself, against his agent’s advice, booked the job, and a year later earned an award for "Best Actor" at The California Independent Film Festival.

Danny’s dream of playing a superhero came true when he got to play one in a nationally televised Heineken commercial. While filming “Lethal Weapon 4”, he accidentally got punched in the nose by Mel Gibson during a boxing scene. It was a painful yet memorable moment in his acting career. Another memorable experience was working alongside one of his favorite actors, Burt Reynolds, in the film “Hard Time”, which Burt also directed.

Some of Danny's other film/TV credits include the Spike TV film "Street Warrior", with Max Martini & Nick Chinlund; the Warner Brother's feature "Spring Breakdown" with Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch & Parker Posey; the Sci-Fi film "Death Row", with Jake Busey & Stacy Keach, currently out on DVD; the modern day film remake of the Shakespeare play “Richard III”, opposite David Carradine & Maria Conchita Alonso; the film "Hotel California", with Tyson Beckford & Erik Palladino; and guest star roles in CBS’ “Without A Trace”, NBC’s “ER”, Showtime’s “Resurrection Blvd”; and recurring roles on My Network TV's "Saints and Sinners", and the General Hospital spinoff "Night Shift", season one, currently out on DVD.

Danny’s first feature screenplay titled "Gamers", about the phenomenon of compulsive video gaming, was inspired by his own addiction to the video game "Madden NFL Football". The script has been extremely well received and is currently being developed for production by Gamers Productions Inc., and his own production company, Xkalybr Films.

Danny is a member of the Hollywood Script Analysis Team (HSAT), where he strengthens his writing skills by doing script coverage and helping other writers with screenplay re-writes. Danny is currently penning his 2nd & 3rd scripts titled "Orion's Belt" & "Hollywood Limo Nights".

The talented actor/writer/producer is also a proud member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the Screen Actor’s Guild.

Armed with a strong acting resume, Danny is looking forward to fulfilling his goals and ambitions, on the fast track to Hollywood success. Danny Arroyo is certainly poised for a long and successful career.
