Danny Smith

Danny Smith is a Canadian actor whose early stage work in Toronto led to television and film roles. Born in Montreal, he moved to Pickering, Ontario, at age seven and later performed in high school productions before working at Stage West in Mississauga, where he spent a year in dinner theater. He trained and acted at The Second City in Toronto, where he worked with Joe Flaherty, and that experience led to screen work. Smith wrote and performed the theme song for the TV series Big Wolf on Campus. After the show ended in 2002, he starred in the unreleased film The Bail. He then moved to Los Angeles to pursue music, and from 2003 to 2009 he sang, wrote songs and played guitar for The City Drive. When the band parted ways in 2009, he returned to Toronto to act, and in 2010 he began appearing in Telus commercials, including one with Leonard Nimoy in 2011.
