About Daniele:

Daniele Denise Lawson (Dani) is an American actress who was born and raised in Southern California.

With her new agency, she went on to book many more national commercials such as AT&T, Wells Fargo Bank, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Comcast Xfinity, Sprite and more. At 6 years old Daniele got the opportunity to dance in the Just Dance Kids 2 video game.

At the age of 9, she co-starred on CBS’ CSI: Cyber alongside Anise Fuller, Shad Moss, James Van Der Beek, and Patricia Arquette.
