ActingCareer

I earned a BFA in Acting from The Theatre School at DePaul a year after The Hollywood Reporter ranked us the 17th best acting school in the world. But once I hit the real world, everything changed...

"You know acting school doesn’t mean anything, right?"

— Some jaded and usually pissed off semi-unknown actor who I met at my West Hollywood gym one time (He was 70% right, tho)

Regardless, I hit the professional scene hard. Signed with Chicago’s leading talent agency. And earned my SAG card doing national theatrical tours, some primetime recurring roles, and delivering the "hahas" ala a KFC spot. But the industry had other plans.

The Pivot

From Screen
to (mostly) Mic

In 2018, everything changed during a Groundlings improv class when my instructor (Flo from Progressive's brother-in-law, fun fact) told me during a feedback session:

“You got a really great voice, man.”

So I pivoted. Since then, I’ve recorded over 100 audiobooks to thousands of outstanding reviews (minus the unhinged negative ones, which almost all authors and narrators have to put up with, btw).

“Fellow authors, If you’re looking for a professional narrator to create your audiobook, you should give strong consideration to working with Daniel Lewis (no, not Daniel Day Lewis). Dan did an outstanding job narrating my last novel Right There in Black and White. It was a true performance, with Dan acting out over 20 distinct characters, many of them with strong accents. He prepared thoroughly and immersed himself in the story so completely that it felt like he was living each scene. His attention to detail, emotional range, and ability to shift seamlessly between voices brought the book to life in a way I hadn’t imagined possible. Dan was also a joy to collaborate with—professional, communicative, and genuinely passionate about the craft. If you want your audiobook to resonate with listeners and stand out from the crowd, Dan Lewis is the narrator to trust.”
