Daniel Monks has always had a passion for performing. Spending his early years crafting lounge-room plays and even adapting Peter Pan for his Year 2 class.
But when Daniel was just 11 years old, doctors discovered a rare tumour on his spine which resulted in partial paralysis to the right side of Daniel’s body.
Frustrated by a body that felt unfamiliar, Daniel set aside his dreams of performing and embraced roles behind the scenes as a producer, writer, and director.
Fast forward two decades, and Daniel's journey takes a remarkable turn. He has rekindled his passion for acting, now thriving as a performer in London. Recently gracing the West End stage alongside Emilia Clarke.
This podcast was made on the land of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation.
