丹尼尔·库德摩尔 Daniel Cudmore
演员
Born in Vancouver and
raised in Squamish, British Columbia, Daniel grew up in an athletic
household. The middle of three boys, Daniel excelled at a number of
different sports including ski racing, snowboarding, football and
rugby. However, in addition to his vast interest in athletics, Daniel
always had a passion for the arts. He took drama classes and performed
in school and local theatre productions while his athleticism earned
him a Football Scholarship to Gannon University. Unfortunately, his
sports career was cut short due to a devastating injury while on the
field. It was at this crucial crossroad that Daniel decided to move
back to Vancouver and focus his attention on his other passion, acting.
Daniel's breakout role came shortly after he made the transition from
college star to actor, when Bryan Singer cast him alongside Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Sir Ian McKellen, and Halle Berry in the
superhero film X2 (2003), as Colossus, the strongest member of the X-Men team.
Daniel's character was brought back in the film's sequel X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). He has since showcased his extraordinary talents on
numerous television shows including Stargate SG-1 (1997), Supernatural (2005),
and Psych (2006). However, it is Daniel's role as Felix in the popular
Summit Entertainment film franchise The Twilight Saga that has given
this actor international recognition. Off screen, Daniel has the same
strength and physicality as his well-known characters. A glorified
outdoorsman, this 6'6'' actor spends a great deal of time enjoying
recreational activities including skiing, snowboarding, riding motor
bikes and motor cycles, mountain biking and is a huge supporter of the
Canadian National Rugby team, where his brother Jaime plays as a
forward.
Daniel has appeared in blockbuster films from hit series: The Twilight Saga and X-Men. Next up, see him reprise his role as Felix, the all-powerful Volturi guard in The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010), as he is once again bringing the larger than life character to the big screen in the last two installments of the Saga, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011) and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012). Additionally, Daniel has a leading role in the independent thriller Rites of Passage (2012). He shares the screen with seasoned actors Christian Slater, Stephen Dorff and Wes Bentley in the film about a young anthropology student seeking a traditional ceremony to mark his entry into manhood. He also has a role in the highly anticipated drama The Baytown Outlaws (2012) alongside Billy Bob Thornton, Paul Wesley and Eva Longoria. The movie, which was on the 2009 "Black List" of Hollywood's best unproduced movie projects, is about a federal agent who comes into a small Southern town to investigate the Oodies - three redneck brothers who get more than they bargained for after agreeing to help a woman get her son back from his seemingly abusive father.
