Our guest speaker this year will be OMK Daniel Fathers who has had an amazing career as a soldier, professional sportsman and actor.
Daniel Fathers, (Courtenay House, 1979-1982)
Probably best known now as an Actor internationally, Daniel spent 30 years living in North America (Saskatchewan, Toronto and Hollywood, California). He was Nominated in 2020 for 'Outstanding Performance, Film/TV ' at Canada's ACTRA Awards (equivalent to BAFTAs and Emmys). He and his cast members also won the People’s Choice Award in LA for Disney’s ‘CAMP ROCK’, in which Daniel played the Jonas Brothers’ cool rock star uncle, Brown Cesario. Camp Rock was the second most viewed TV Film of all-time history with 300 million unique viewers.
In 2024, Daniel joined the cast of HBO's awarding winning House of the Dragon'(Season 2) as Lord Humfrey Lefford, as well as a Series Supporting Lead of The Pendragon Cycle as The Fisher King for The Daily Wire, an Arthurian Fantasy-Drama of epic scale, which airs in 2025.
A Graduate of London's prestigious The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, he holds a Masters level Post Graduate Certificate in Performance Teaching. He is the founder of The Screen Actors Development Lab, and mentors professional screen actors internationally, and puts on Workshops all over the world.
Daniel was born and raised in London then moved to Saskatchewan, Canada after training as a dancer at The Ballet Rambert School (Central School of Dance) in London.
Daniel received a Full Sports Scholarship to Kelly College for Rugby and Athletics. He held many South West England records for 400m Hurdles and middle distance events in athletics and reached the finals at the All England Schools. He represented Devon in a number of sports and was selected to the SW England U16 squad in Rugby. In Canada, he was an U19 Canadian Allstar and Captained Saskatchewan. He also played senior club rugby with the Toronto Scottish.
A former Canadian Armed Forces Militia soldier (Royal Regina Rifles), Daniel still gives back as a part-time Skill At Arms Instructor for the MOD (Rank of Captain) and volunteers at Eastbourne College in the Army Section of CCF.
Having lived on a horse ranch in Canada, Daniel is an accomplished horseman and he was also a professional Bull Rider on the Ram Rodeo Tour. As a result he spent two seasons on CBC's 'Heartland'. He makes good use of those skills on film sets.
On stage in the Tony Award Winning 'Mamma Mia!' by Phyllida Lloyd, he played two of the Leads, Bill Austin and Harry Bright, in the Toronto Company.
Daniel had an amazing renaissance life and careers and owes much of it to the opportunity that was given to him at Kelly. His mantra is “Mediocrity is doing what you can. Success is doing what it takes.”
