Hugh......why are you changing the name of the actor playing Daniel?
Due to reasons that are best not discussed, the Actor that plays the role of Daniel, along with the United Arab Emirates Actor’s Guild, feel that his name should be removed from this project and have opted for this proxy instead. UAE Actor's Guild. --213.42.2.21 00:05, 9 November 2006 (PST)
Original Yousef page:
Yousef Abu-Taleb is the actor who plays Daniel in the Lonelygirl15 video series.
He was born in Arlington, Virginia, and lived in Jordan until he was 8. Allen's father is Jordanian and lives in Herndon, Va. His mother is British and lives in Harrisonburg, Va. Allen, 26, took classes at Blue Ridge Community College before deciding to move to Los Angeles in early 2005. Allen has two brothers and four sisters.
He worked as a waiter and bartender while looking for roles as an actor. He worked with acting coach Robert Miano and producer James Quattrochi. He had a small part in the film Dorm Daze 2; the scene was cut, but can be seen in the Deleted Scenes section of the DVD. He is a member of the Screen Actors Guild.
Allen also found out about lonelygirl15 on Craigslist. He almost missed his audition, because he got it confused with another audition. When he arrived at the lonelygirl15 audition he said he was wearing a sweatshirt and torn up jeans while everyone else was wearing Abercrombie. Unlike co-star Jessica Rose, Allen was not hesitant to take the role.
During the filming, before his identity was revealed, Allen kept a low profile, keeping to his house and wearing sun glasses when he went out. After The Creators and crew came forward, Allen was interviewed by MTV and CNN. He also appeared with Jessica on the Tom Green show.
On his MySpace, Allen is seen in a picture with model Jennifer Cambra. Allen also messaged a myspace member the following message which was later posted in the comments for On The Run:
Rumour has begun to arise that Allen may be leaving the series. Nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
