Carl Danielsen (I) was born in Oakland, California and started apprenticing at 15 at the Woodminster Amphitheatre as an actor and musical director. I have a BA with honors in music from the University of California Berkeley and a diploma (also with honors) from the Webber Douglass Academy of Dramatic Art in London (now absorbed into the Central School) in acting.

In between the more than 30 years of acting jobs (AEA since 1986, SAG since 1988) I have coached singers and actors and played auditions for the top casting directors in NY.

 

As a child, (literally – I started playing professionally for theaters and churches when I was 12) I received commissions to write the music for 7 childrens musicals for the Lilliput Players, based in San Leandro and received a Meet the Composer grant.

In 1996 I worked with Larry Delinger, composer, at the Denver Center Theatre Company and he became my composition teacher. Since then I have written and collaborated on the many musical theatre projects you will find on these pages. Please see my theatre and music resumes for more information.
