I was born Daniel Luis Lagunes to an immigrant father and an American mother. My father is from Mexico.  He was born in Tijuana, but my family comes from Xalapa, Veracruz. Abuelita (grandma) always reminds me of those good old life lessons that come from her family. My mother is Italian, Irish, German....I could go on and on. She likes to call herself a "mutt". In reality though, I only grew up with my Italian side of the family. I get my stage name, 'Danny DiPeso' from my great grandmother. Her maiden name is Rachel DiPeso. (I'm boring you already, I know).My life is interesting to say the least, like many others, I grew up with many hardships. I never let these hardships keep me down. They may rough me up a bit, but obstacles are only temporary in my mind. As cliche as it sounds, the road we travel on shapes us into the person we were, are today, and who we are to become. I intend on becoming a legend.I grew up running between Huntington Park, and Chino, California, but it's just easier to say I'm from LA, and yes I can say that! My parents are separated, never legally divorced, but we can save that for my documentary (which I must say is gonna be f*cking incredible...mark my words). Believe it or not, I'm an LA local chasing the Hollywood dream, making achievements and mistakes along the way like everyone else. I enjoy spending my time hard at work trying to survive and forgetting that I have goals (that was a joke). Oh and I'm single....hey guys ;).Now that I've lost most of your attention, to those of you who made it this far, welcome to my website! Here you'll see me update once a year or something....totally kidding...but really once I start booking left and right you won't wanna miss what I'm cookin'.  I love telling stories. That's what actors are...storytellers. Those stories could be about anything and everything. They make you laugh, cry, smile, furrow your brows. and I've definitely made someone do all of those things in my everyday life. Don't worry though! I'm trained, still training too. An actor can never learn enough! Check out my resume on here if you wanna see what I've been up to! It's always updating, even if it takes me a few more years to update my bio here. I'm serious about this! I'm getting my Oscar!To all of you casting directors out there, hit me up and meet me in the casting room! I promise at least one of you will like what I've got. Also in some weird sci-fi kind of a event that you stumble upon my website before my social media, (which is only slightly better) give me a follow or something. I always post there before here!@DannyDiPeso
