Three years ago, Daniel was an accountant. Today, he’s a leading name in the global vertical micro-drama industry, one of the fastest-growing areas in screen performance, now valued in the billions of dollars.

In this episode of Acting Up, Daniel shares how he made the leap from spreadsheets to storytelling, landed his first vertical acting gig, and built a full-time, international career in micro-dramas filmed for the phone-first world.

We talk money, momentum, creative risk, and why vertical storytelling is creating real, sustainable opportunities for actors right now.

Daniel also explains how he’s helping other performers access this booming space through his agency, Acting Vertical, and what actors need to know if they want to break into micro-dramas themselves.

If you’re curious about alternative acting paths, global opportunities, or building creative freedom outside the traditional system, this episode is essential listening.
