Bio
Daniel Watterson graduated from Victoria University with a Bachelor of Laws (Honours, First) and a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Literature and Theatre in 2008. In 2014, he continued his studies at The Actor's Program in Auckland.
In 2016, Daniel was part of a largely successful season of Twelfth Night & Romeo and Juliet at the Pop Up Globe, in which his portrayal of Olivia was commended. In the same year, he received praise on his work in theatrical debut productions of Ain't That A Bitch, and Lucrece. In 2017, he impressed theatre audiences again as Tristan in The Effect, and as Thomas in Venus in Fur.
TVNZ's Dirty Laundry (2016) marked his screen debut as regular antagonist, Nathan. Since then he has appeared regularly on NZ screens, portraying Shaman in The New Legends of Monkey series, released on TVNZ, Netflix and ABC in 2018.
