1943 - 1977

Danny played the role of 'Barnaby' in travelling companies of 'Hello, Dolly' before Gene Kelly signed him for the motion picture. Following his appearance in the motion picture, he went on to broadway and played Barnaby in David Merricks production starring Ethel Merman.

He was born in Hawaii, and raised in Omaha, Nebraska.

Danny started dancing professionally at the age of eight - an exceptional dancer.

Danny also appeared in 'West Side Story' in New York, and in other shows such as 'The Sound of Music', 'The Music Man' and 'Take Me Along'.

Danny appeared in the motion picture 'Gypsy' (1962) as Gerry. He played Tom Sawyer in the Musical Huckelberry Finn in St Louis, appeared in the film Father of the Bride, and also made television appearances on numerous shows including My Three Sons.

He soon played the role of Barnaby in touring companies of Dolly, and before long, Gene Kelly paid special attention to his screen test for Barnaby in December 1967.

Following the motion picture 'Hello, Dolly', Danny returned to Broadway to play Barnaby opposite Ethel Merman. Soon after, he recorded his first record album. He also devoted over 5 years of his life to teaching Dance in Anaheim California.

A wonderfully talented man, both as a dancer and musician.
He has left a wonderful legacy behind - and we miss him so.
