ABOUT ME

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”-J.R.R. Tolkien

Hi, I'm Danielle Maddox, a model and actress based in Los Angeles, CA.I've always been drawn to storytelling. My first love was dance, where I discovered the joy of performance at a young age. By middle school, that passion had expanded into photography and writing, giving me new ways to capture moments, create characters, and tell meaningful stories.Originally from Decatur, Illinois, I spent years developing my craft through the Meisner Technique. My training began in Chicago at Acting Studio Chicago and Black Box Acting Studio before I moved to Los Angeles, where I continued my studies at Actors Workout Studio with Fran Montano. Today, I continue training with Risa Bramon Garcia at BGB Studio and study improvisation at UCB, constantly seeking opportunities to grow as an artist.Whether I'm stepping into comedy, grounded drama, or something wonderfully offbeat, I'm drawn to characters with heart, humor, and complexity. Beyond acting and modeling, I also write, produce, and photograph because I love exploring stories from every angle and collaborating with passionate creatives.When I'm not on set, you'll probably find me rock climbing, lifting weights, traveling, or at a metal show. I believe the same curiosity, creativity, and resilience that fuel my adventures are what I bring to every role and every collaboration.
