"Luckily my mum Jane [Laurie] found an acting career for me, she was an actress."
Daniel may have struggled in school, but things started to look up after he left school. He said walking away from school helped him discover his passion for acting. After he left, his mum helped him find acting roles because she was an actress too.
"If it wasn’t for Call The Midwife, where else would I be? The whole entire show is run by women and I actually love being in Call The Midwife because of them.
