Flexible, optimistic, bold, kind, clever, and silly. Many ingredients come with making Daniella Zacarias.
Born and raised in Miami, Florida amidst a chaotic yet loving Cuban family. Daniella attended New World School of the Arts and earned a Bachelors in Fine Arts; specializing in Acting from the University of Florida. It was there she honed her craft for four years—studying and performing a wide variety of plays. All while achieving feats such as performing at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival and becoming a finalist for the Irene Ryan Scholarship. On July 2025, she attended the Midsummer Oxford Program at BADA, (the British Academy of Dramatic Arts) where she studied classical texts ranging from William Shakespeare to Anton Chekhov.
She is a character actor who is always seeking to be challenged and transformed by the works she’s a part of. You want a power hungry Scottish king? A grieving mother? Mort from Madagascar? Take your pick. There’s plenty of voices in her head for you to pick from. Most of all, Daniella Zacarias is a massive nerd, a nurturing sister, and a visionary leader with a big heart. When someone has a vision, she is committed to help making it a reality. When you need an ear to yap to, she’s quick to listen and slow to speak. At the very root, she is a daughter of God who is determined to be a light in the world whether it is through acting, writing, or directing. She is a storyteller—His storyteller.
