Daniel Pollock (1969 - 1992) was an Australian actor, best known for his role as Davey in the 1992 Australian film Romper Stomper, which featured Russell Crowe.
Pollock attended Swinburne Senior Community School in the Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn, Victoria throughout the mid eighties. He performed in films such as Nirvana Street Murder (1990), Death in Brunswick (1991) and Proof (1991), even though he was a known heroin addict.
Pollock's last performance was in Geoffrey Wright's Romper Stomper, during which time he was romantically involved with co-star Jacqueline McKenzie. He committed suicide by throwing himself under a train in Sydney before Romper Stomper was released. Russell Crowe, who also appeared with Pollock in Romper Stomper, wrote a song "The Night That Davey Hit the Train" about his death.
