Daniel Ezra

Daniel Ezra is an English actor born in Birmingham, England. Ezra attended the prestigious East 15 Acting School at the University of Essex from 2011 to 2014, and graduated with a bachelor's in acting. He instantly made his professional acting debut in the post-apocalyptic film "Precipice Hours" (2014). He also landed a role in the TV movie "Murdered by My Boyfriend" (BBC Three, 2014); its star, Georgina Campbell, won a BAFTA Award for Best Leading Actress. He also appeared in a second season episode of the short-lived series "The Village" (BBC One, 2013-14), a show that creator Peter Moffat envisioned as a chronicle of the rural life of an English family from 1914 through World War II and beyond.

Ezra worked again with Moffat as a star of the miniseries "Undercover" (BBC One, 2016), and landed a recurring role on the second and final season of the anthology show "The Missing" (BBC One, 2014-16), the latter being somewhat of a breakout role in England. He joined the main cast of the period miniseries "Prime Suspect 1973" (ITV, 2017), a prequel/spin-off of the long-running, Helen Mirren-led show "Prime Suspect" (ITV, 1991-2006). Ezra also took to the stage as Sebastian in a filmed, reworked version of William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" in 2017. He then landed his breakout American role with the starring role of Spencer James on "All American" (The CW, 2018), a football drama based on the life of professional player Spencer Paysinger.
