A native of Sydney, Australia, Daniel Richard Goddard, was one year away from a career in Finance at the University until he pursued acting. He transferred to the Ensemble Actors Studio and performed in local theatrical productions before landing his first major television role as bad boy Eric Phillips on the popular European primetime soap opera Home And Away. His work on the show quickly won him recognition as one of Europe's biggest hearthrobs.
Although he enjoyed his fame in Australia, Daniel felt it was time to set his sights on Hollywood. It was difficult making the transition from soap star to virtual unknown in Los Angeles and he literally had to start all over again. To sustain himself, he began doing some comercial modeling, appearing in print ads on behalf of such products as Calvin Klein and Dolce & Cabbana. Soon after, he landed the role of Dar, the Beastmaster, in the syndicated action adventure series entitled BeastMaster: The Legendary Journeys, which was filmed in Australia. |
