Daniel Flaherty (born June 11, 1993) is an American actor, known for his role as Stanley Lucerne on the MTV teen drama series Skins.[2]
Life and career
By the age of 17, Flaherty was already a veteran of the indie-arty short film scene, having acted in Spark, Vacant, The Parade, and Portnoy. He also makes music; Daniel writes songs, sings, and plays guitar in a local New Jersey band. Other hobbies include skateboarding and ultimate frisbee. His resume lists "fearless roller coaster rider" as one of his skills.[1]
Daniel originally went to the New York open call but didn’t get a callback. His agent arranged a private audition and it seems like the individual attention was just what he needed to snag the role of Stanley. Daniel's favorite part of working on Skins is getting to contribute to the development of his character.[1]
Daniel started studying acting at age 11. When he turned 13, he booked his first short film, My First Kiss.[3]
In 2010, Flaherty was cast as Stanley Lucerne in the MTV adaptation of the British teen drama Skins. His character is based on the character Sid Jenkins from the original Skins UK show.
In 2012, Flaherty was cast as Tommy, a victim of school bullying, in the independent dramedy Contest. The following year, he appeared in a small role in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street.
In September 2016, it was announced that Flaherty would join the cast of the upcoming film, The Garden Left Behind, directed by Flavio Alves, starring Michael Madsen and Ed Asner.[4][5]
Personal life
Flaherty is from Glen Rock, New Jersey, where he attended Glen Rock High School.[6] He is the youngest of four siblings. He spends his free time skateboarding, playing guitar, song writing and singing in his band MF Killer Starfish.[3]
His brother Chris Flaherty is a member of the band Idlehurst and owns two vocal and music studios in Sewell, NJ and Woodbury, NJ called Resonance School of Music.
